Pintos in Parades
« on: December 02, 2004, 06:24:41 AM »
My wife drove her '73 Pinto in our town's Veterans Day Parade on November 14th, 2004. I'll try to attach a photo of it that I snapped right before the start of the parade, and there's also this report I put together for our local antique auto hobby web site about the overall antqiue auto participation in that parade: http://members.aol.com/cgearannex/BranfrdVetsParade2004.html

Diane reported that she got lots of "thumbs up" from spectators along the way!

Many thanks Scott!

We've driven our old VWs in lots of Memorial and Veterans Day parades over the years in our town, and have never felt any "weirdness" at driving foreign-made (particularly German-made) automobiles in those events. However, it was a special thrill to have our American-made Pinto in the Vets Day parade this time.

Thank you again very much for the recognition, and thank you for all you do for this web site and the Pinto enthusiast community.

D'oh!

This is probably a dumb question, but how could we tell?
