[427425]

Wanted to add to the baby pictures thread with our Berger car from the early summer of 1971. Just got returned from the Army ( thus the haircut ! )and got the car out of storage. My fiancé and I posed for these at the end of my parents driveway. We were married in August and took the car on our honeymoon to upper Michigan for @ 5 days. We were out of gas $$ and came home early ! Notice the copper colored rally wheel centers. I could never afford mags, so we painted the wheels different colors, to change up the look. After we were married I wanted a Baldwin Motion look so we added Corvette side exhaust to go with the 427 numerals we had already added to the hood. We traded cars with a friend in 1974 to get a 66 Corvette. The car had 33,000 miles on it and was still under factory warranty. Bought the car back in 1994 and all the original paperwork from Berger was still in the glove box.
Yesterday I pried those numerals off the hood to strip it, but my buddy and I are putting them back on with tape after the new paint job. ONLY painting the car because it had been painted in 1986, when it was in a large car collection and had lots of bad lacquer checking.
My wife, same one from 1971, and I will be hauling the car to Berger in 2025 for their 100th anniversary.
