WOOT WOOT!!! Is it okay to say I got my cherry busted today? I'm NO LONGER a virgin! I not only got my FIRST trophy, I got my SECOND one too!! Friend of mine helped me & I took BOTH Eagles to a car show today. Got 1st in class (1980s) with the wagon & 2nd with the sedan! I was about ready to leave & they said awards in about a half hour so I said I'll stay. VERY glad I did!!!

Well done, those sure are some clean machines!  I have a question, though.

The second pic shows the rear quarter of the wagon.  The doors have pinstripes, the quarter does not.  Is that just how they made 'em?  Seems like the stripe should carry to the end of the glass.  Just looks a little off, but then again so do Eagles in general.
It's getting crowded down here:
1973 Ford Mustang "Rustang"
1984 AMC Eagle Sedan "IllEagle" 183k
1984 AMC Eagle Wagon "Eagle 2"
1996 Cadillac Eldorado 178k
1998 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight 239k
2002 Cadillac Eldorado Doral Edition
2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 179k

It had some rust repair around the back windows I think. I'll ask Brandon to check my memory, but I think he told me that once.

Thanks V.G. I haven't done a whole lotta anything to either one. I keep saying it, Brandon's a good kid. He treated that wagon right! I've just been trying to keep it up. As for the sedan, it's CURRENTLY at 72,xxx. I just waxed it so far. I need to do the vinyl top & the interior. I have to get the heater core fixed before I get excited about the interior, Never done!
