Amazing what you find when not looking
« on: October 09, 2011, 11:36:14 AM »

I spotted this pre 84 sedan in the employee parking lot of the altoona hospital on thursday when i went to visit my mother and decided to snap a photo to share with the group. 

It took me a bit to get it posted cause i was dealing with the health problems my mother was having.  Yesterday she was allowed to come back home so now I am back 100% in the eagle hobby (and very happy about it)

Here's an idea I was having.  I'm thinking of having business type cards made for times like this that welcomed random Eagles to the Nest.  Simply tuck them under the wiper blade as you see them pearched around in random parking lots.  Might be a simple way to expand Nest membership and to keep some of these things on the road for many years to come...  Might be a great way to find out they are for sale too.

Good God that thing looks so bizarre. My paint color, overpainted outline where there should just be chrome, no rack, no front plate, matching hubcap style, antenna looks aftermarket and the rear looks like it was minimized for this design and appears much smaller even though it's still a 4 door.

Is this the NON-Limited flavor of my 83 Eagle?! (;゚Д゚)
