Great Adventure today! When we arrived home BG had 18841 miles on the odometer which means that she has been driven 423 miles since she was purchased.
The new parade top was finished so we took the Benton Franklin Transit buses from home to the upholstery shop. We found that people over 65 get to ride free, a benefit we gladly took advantage of. It took two transfers and a little over an hour to get to downtown Kennewick. The top looks great; I love it. It is nice and snug. I've included a crummy picture of one of the buses we rode and a picture of BG with her new top and whip antenna blowing in the breeze.
Yesterday several of us went to the Tri-Cities 37th Annual Swap Meet and Antique Car Display at the Benton County Fairgrounds. I took my license plates with me. Earlier in the week I called the guy that I brought the license plates for Blue Goose from (see Blog dated May, 2012), because he had expressed interest in the plates I had for sale, to see if he was going to have a booth here. He said wasn't coming.
While at the swap meet I talked to a lady who was selling license plates. She said she would buy plates and was interested in looking at mine. So I went back to the car and carried my box of plates in. She looked over the plates, only interested in older Washington State ones, gathered a few and asked me what I thought was a fair price for them. I said $25 each. She said that was fair and offered me $400 for the lot. I said sure and we consumated the deal.
When I returned home I checked my database to see which plates she had purchased and found that she had picked eleven. So she paid me almost $40 a piece for the plates. WOW!
The attached picture shows an example plate, probably the one she will get the most money for when she sells it.
