New 2018 club calendar

My car is December. Picture was taken on the street in front of my house.
It is a series V. Originally a Pennsylvania car. My dad bought it from the original owner in 1979. It sat until he started a restoration in 1986. The restoration stalled after a couple of years. I inherited the car in 2003. It sat in my garage until I started working on it in July 2013. I've been working slow and steady on it since then. It only has 27k miles. It is mostly stock with reproduction parts as needed.

The photos are oldest to newest.

Would you believe that a tiny typo made your mailing label not print? I was wondering why there was a blank mailing label on the sheet. Your packet will be going in the mail today.
I just got mine today. Thank you.
My Alpine is MARCH, but also 3rd from front on the COVER, and in front of Jim's red Alpine in MAY.
1966 Series V. Original engine, never been bored and still running the Stromberg Carbs. 86k miles, body repainted a little darker than orig green, but engine bay and trunk untouched. Bought it from a pawn broker in San Bernardino about 4 years ago. It had been fully restored by previous owner, but when finally done he was driving home one night and ran into a runaway horse. He had the repairs done and pawned it.

Great calendar. Thanks, guys.
My car is June. Photo taken in Aug 2015 near the Tunkahannock Viaduct, a famous railroad viaduct northwest of Scranton, PA.

The car is a 67 SV, my third Alpine since 1965. Bought this one in '81, had been originally from New Orleans. Finally did a restoration from '86-'88 including painting it Porsche Guard Red (seems to be identical to Rootes Carnival Red) myself in my backyard, from original Forest Green. Re-did significant mechanical work in '04 and '05 before driving it with my old college buddy, Bob, on a 7500 mile camping trip from OH to the Canadian Rockies, Glacier NP, and Colorado. Had to tow it home from Denver after breaking a piston ring in Muddy Gap, WY. Rebuilt the engine in '08 with Chevy rods, stroked and bored to 1819 cc, Vizard mod, re-cored radiator, and Weber 32/36. Bob and I drove it 2 more times to the West Coast '11, and '13 and to Cape Cod in '15.
It's in pretty nice condition, but not a "showpiece". When I take to a car show I always show a couple photos of it in the Rocky Mountains or West Coast so people know it's a "Driver" and has been driven from coast-to-coast.
