Gold and black 26' parked at some kind of Garage/shop.

I was on a blitz trip meeting a supplier and had no time to loiter. Saw the coach while rushing for the airport at 5:00 AM to go home.

That was it. Didn't get a good look at the sign, but the paint job on the coach was a newer style, so that caught my eye.

My wife thinks somebody has to watch the road while I am driving because of my habit of scanning the roadsides for interesting iron.
She panics if we pass a large junkyard that is visible from the road... Very Happy

If you go to the street view you can actually see two of them parked in front of the building. Kind of just see the backs of them. Pretty cool...

Joe, you would have a great time looking at this old interesting iron that I ran across a few years ago.
