The Conversion Corral
Images getting stripped out They were there (at least for me) for 30 min or an hour, and now they are gone. Maybe I'm too new to post images, and there is some robot software stripping them out. I'll ask a bartender. -

The Conversion Corral

Trip to Resistol/Stetson Factory Store

European Fedoras
I vote charcoal gray with... a custom red and white hat band to match the paint job. Or a straw in blonde that matches the prop, again with a "color scheme" ribbon. This one for pictures at the front of the a/c. -
