Re: [FWDLK] Fraudulent auction cars

[Terry & Andree Hoeman <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

But we own the Happy Days Suburban!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We bought it in Milwaukee shortly after the show closed.  Drove it home to
Nebraska during an ice storm on easter weekend.

Actually ours is two tone brown and I understand the one on the show was
blue if I remember right.

Neat cars but not for high speed or easy touring. Something about that
little flat head six pulling that huge car along which is amazing.  Hate to
think of it fully loaded with all nine passengers and all of theit luggage
piled in the trunk and on the roof.   Still a neat ride though.

Any on line hits of the cars available?  Haven't seen the ads myself.
