newbie - '88 Cougar

New guy here.  I picked up this nice '88 Cougar a few months ago.  It has just over 100,000 miles on it, but you would never guess it.  It doesn't have one of the snazzy engines, but it is still a nice example of the breed.

That is a fine example of an 88 Cougar.  I always thought that color silver looked excellent with chrome rims.  Might be an idea for you.

It has the 3.8 instead of the 5.0.  I would have preferred the V8 for obvious reasons, but the car was given to me by a nice young lady who did not want to see her first car modified, but instead preserved.  It's not every day that someone offers me a free car.

Welcome aboard. I can't see pics though. Considering I'm the only one who can't, it's probably the work filter blocking them :mad:

The pics are on photobucket.  Your work filter must not like that site.

She looks good.  My brown two tone cat almost looks that color in poor light.
