Black Smoke?



Well, in that case I will probably be moaning and groaning myself since my '68 
Crown Convertible is going to be sitting in my drive way in two weeks, whether 
it gets there under its own power or hanging from a hook.

By the way, would anyone be interested in trading a perfect'68 right grill half 
for a perfect left grill half? It seems the previous owner of my car bought the 
wrong side by mistake. The left grill half on the car has a broken bar near the 
bottom.
