I like the Hawks.... That one was the right color to speak to you. I would
run. didn't I send you a link to the one that was for sale by me once? It
was reasonable, and original. My uncle had a red one.... an Ambassador?
Can't remember now. My cousin still has it. All original Colorado rust
free.
I am working on having canvas prints everywhere since I re-did the first
floor.
Did we ever get an introduction from the subject of this thread. I seem to
remember several replies asking for one.
Thanks,
JC
