New York Phaeton #362 has been added to owners list pg. 1 This car has been in the family since new in 1970. Texas Phaeton # 720 is now FOR SALE with info on owners list page 2 I am trying a new system to get you right to the exact car listing on For sale cars on owners lists, so you don't have to remember and scroll to the car number. So that car # 720 mentioned above -- INFO IS HERE For example, in this TEST, my car, #689, should appear at the top of the page.	4/25/12
I added a part number for spark plugs for car 689 (a '73). I felt the need to do that since I got the wrong plugs from the computer at the car store. I posted that in with the technical stuff HERE.	4/21/12
Illinois Phaeton # 1122 now listed as FOR SALE on owners list page 2	4/20/12

PA Roadster # 518 owner reports that he converted the 4-speed sticks shift to a C-4 auto. See owners list page 2 (Note: I will ask the owner if he has any details to share, although there were very few stick shift Ford based Glassics built.)	4/6/12

Phaeton # 1011, our first reported HAWAII car, has been added to owners list page 2 -- no response yet to my NOTE in the log entry below. On each of the 3 owners list pages, the top section has a box with the total count of "found cars" -- that page has always had a hidden chart and map with the car count by state. I put a red message on the page telling viewers to scroll down to see those counts. I also fixed it so that the links in that little box opened in a full-sized window, not inside the tiny box. (Try it on the link to owners list page 2, above.)	3/29/12
Car 1499 is in IL. Spotted FOR SALE Nevada Roadster # 1436 on Craigs List. I also added it to owners list page3 NOTE -- On the message board, there is a question about lowering the top. I answered it, sort of, but would appreciate if someone would step up with the answer to his followup question. -- How do those springy pins work that hold the top to the windshield. Do they come out altogether - what keeps those pins from just falling out? Can anyone send a closeup picture of the pin if they DO come clean out? -- reminder: when a person ANSWERS a recent item on the message board, the answer does not show up as a NEW item, so there is no way of knowing that more has been added to a topic.	3/24/12
Phaeton # 1499, a 1981, added to owners list 3 - Limited info from a question on the message board but a picture was added to the Album	3/22/12
New Nevada owner posted for Phaeton # 982 on owners list page 2 . I also finally posted the celebrity Phaeton owned by Steven Tyler, even though I have been unable to get the VIN. It is a 1977, so it is on owners list page3 between the 1976's and 1977's. It is an early 1977 since it still has the leaf springs on the front.	3/20/12

I am the new owner of Glassic #1119 and just made a donation to the website.

I hope that anybody/everybody else that uses the website, will do the same!

(pun intended).	1/12/12
