This spring, things aligned budget-wise and we put the word out that we were looking for a Type 34 for her.  We watched the Samba, checked out a few leads from Lee Hedges, and then Lee came through with the car we bought.

What part of GA did it come from?  I use to see one like this when I 
would drive through Rome GA which is only 60 or 70 miles from me.
