	Super shot is more like it!  Might have been taken from a 14 or 15 if
that shadow on top is not the overpass!  Car 163x still looks mighty
fine - full skirting below the anticlimber which wraps behind the tow
pin - just like it was built.  Still has dash lights which make the car
look inviting and comfortable - even in daylight.  And the *17* paint
scheme - hourglass figure! - looks good as well!  Those were the days!
