    Missing my old '70 Maverick
    Neat. I took this (similar) photo from a junk, er "salvage" yard in Texas.

    I don't have a Flickr membership so if someone wants to post this one on Flickr . . . go for it.
    (any monies gained from said photo shall be equally split 90/10 with me and all the board members here)

    Yea I posted that pic awhile back on another board. I just moved from Gadsden several months ago. There is an auto repair shop off the street the runs beside HWY 431 in Gadsden. That thing is so rusted its just a matter of time before it slides down that pole! Maybe a few good parts for anyone who wants to climb the pole.:D

    I remember posting that picture in the MCCI newsletter many, many years ago. I believe Charlie Ping sent it to me.

    Normally if you right click the image, save it and open with your photo editor you can just resave it and choose jpeg as the save format.

    You mean "Paint" isn't a photo editor? lol

    I tend to use it more than anything else.
