LD sighting in southern Black Hills June 17, 2021, 12:04:36 am Was passing though the Black Hills this morning and found this beauty, always a bit unexpected to run into one so far away from the west coast. My wife was just mentioning earlier that day that you don’t see many LDs around. 5 Likes

Re: LD sighting in southern Black Hills Reply #2 – June 17, 2021, 12:01:09 pm "Nice car too! Could that be a toad?"That 'nice' car is a Model 'A' Ford Roadster. I learned to drive in a 1931 vintage. Lift the rear hatch and you will find a 'Rumble' seat for two more passengers. Now those were the Good Old Days!And, there's no reason that could not be towed. 2 Likes

Mary is the head mechanic, learning from her father, a collector of old cars. Larry 4 Likes
