Re: Squareback memory lane and... Richard Pryor?

<x-flowed>Hi All,

I sent the link to that 1967 T3 interior/exterior color brochure Patrick 
posted to my dad, and asked him if he remembered seeing it when he bought 
"my" squareback in 1968, and/or if it was the brochure that led him to 
choose the Pearl White/India Red combo. Here is his response....

I wonder if a listee is driving Pryor's 1968 T3 at the moment, or if it has 
already met the crusher?! I can picture some blue 68 beater being offered 
on E-Bay with a reserve of 5K because of this historical "provenance." ;)

Cheers,

68 Square (still Pearl White!)
