...very nice!

My pleasure, sir! I'm just glad I was able to
render Deacon and Mira to your satisfaction; <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">
I might add that their car is indeed rather
special in an historic way: Furriston was in
the midst of change in the early 60's, as
many cities were, and its continued growth
was in question. The opening of the Chariot
Motors plant in Furriston in '65 was a huge
economic boost for the city, and is one of
the reasons it's as big as it is now. So,
the cars that first left the assembly line
are indeed historic vehicles. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

One minor historical note I've found out
myself: the year that an auto plant was
considered "open" back then was the year
of the car they produced. The plant could
have been in operation long beforehand (and
indeed would have to be in order to go into
production at a certain time) but it's the
year of the auto they actually manufacture
that is considered the year that the plant
was really 'open'.
I'd be very interested in reading the story
of how Deacon and Mira came to own their
classic Chariot. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

Hey, I overlooked that date. 1965... ATROITMI, that's when I was born. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">

Certainly! Deacon and Mira are a charming

one of their adventures. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>
