Pimpin' the Swag!

Tonight was the last of the season of our little local cruise in East York but it was a record 125 car turn-out.  Plus we raised over $4,000 for the Childrens' Wish Foundation over the course of the season!  Left to right are yours truly, 65Camino (obviously passed out from all the excitement), 67 Beaumont and 73SC:



Those CP shirts were certainly noticed.  Parked beside 73SC was a mayfair maize 67 Parisienne convertible.  Owner was a super nice guy, we spoke with him for quite a while and hope he will soon be on here and get a load of this, he is a former owner of 427 Carl's 66 Strato.  He had a lot of interesting stories to tell about that car!wink

That pic looks like a 70's rock group album cover!.

And is it as simple as just wearing C/P swag to look happier?.

No, you need to carry a "Mickey" in your back pocket.

He got the tires 4 for $100 on a clear out so he bought 8 knowing they wouldn't last too long. He said the peg leg pitched the car a bit sideways at the line and doing burnouts but he left foot braked and mashed the gas pedal. We had a blast talking all night. He even dislikes our mayor, Comrade Miller too!  w00t.gif

That is, if Carl ever wants to let it go and if he takes Canadian Tire money. biggrin

We're all still livin' in the 70's man!  Ray does think he's a rock star wearing those sunglasses at night.toocool.gif
Yes, we can all confirm that everyone reacts in a friendly manner to CP swag.
It is very therapeutic!  smile

Glad to see that the swag is being shown off.
I placed my order with Todd this week and will be showing it off as soon as possible.

I can't believe how much 67 Beaumont looks like my brother LOL.

Don't they say everyone has a twin out there somewhere?  I think all CP types were separated at birth and it was Todd's destiny to create this site to start bringing us all back together. smile

Mine showed up today, all the mugs in perfect shape Todd! Thanks very much. It all looks GREAT!

1 key chain is already in the Acadian, 2 mugs packed for the next trip to the cabin, number one son claimed one of the shirts and I have the cards in my wallet as well as in my nice Impala to take to the car show on Sunday. There's almost nothing left! I may have to order more.......
