    Who here has had their Maverick or Comet in a parade. It does not have to be recent and does not matter what kind of parade it was. Post some pictures if you have any, i think it would be cool to see them. I don't care if they are from the outside or if the pictures are from the inside of the car, just post 'em! :tiphat:(y)

    I have the pics, but they are trapped on a dead computer. I'm working on that. I'll try to get them off this weekend.

    I have had my Comet in a few parades. I was going to put it in our Christmas Parade tomorrow evening. But we are supposed to be getting around 3" of snow tomorrow and the roads have so much salt on them they are already white.I don't think I will be getting it out.

    I would post my shots of my Comet in last years C.N.E. parade but first i need to raid them off the other board as they are not on my computer. The pictures are not all that great as my daughter video taped the parade from inside the car and i took the pictures from the parade off of my T.V. with my digital camera so the pictures look pretty crappy.

    Thanks Dave,all mechanicals are in good shape. Need to start on a little body work now. It has a few rust spots on both doors and one fender, but other than that it is pretty solid.
