Quality Time
Posted on: Wednesday May 24, 2006
May 25, 2006 While waiting for some decent driving weather, I was able to spend some “Quality Time†with Ruby. Her exterior looked a bit dull and drab and needed some attention. So, I gave her a bath, rubbed her down with Clay Lube, and applied a coat of color wax to fill in some chips and scratches.

But, I may add, it was well worth it. It revealed some interesting facts: Built March 26 -28, 1974, dispatched to the USA on April 19, an early 74 chrome bumper model with chrome overriders.
