Nice car! The caption for the second photo says the wagon is "brilliantly colored". What color is that?? Dave, if you ever have to hand out Willys keys you'll need to get a suit like the guy in the first photo. It's classy, and you'll look good driving your jeep in it.

I gave up suits when I left the world of banking! And, dress shoes have always given me shin splints. I have never been able to wear them for very long.
