So here's an interesting opportunity I came across... The New York Times hosts a free "Collectible Automobiles" web gallery at...
http://collectiblecars.nytimes.com/List_Listings.asp
You can search through the listings by make, model, year, vehicle type, etc., and see all kinds of vehicles from just about any era, complete with photos, and descriptions by the owners. And, yes, there are already a few 'Cruisers included...
But the best part is that you can submit your own vehicle to be listed. They do "review" your submission before posting it online. But I think their only criteria is that you don't use foul-language in your submission or do some other silliness they don't want posted... (they've included a few vehicles on the site that I would say are a stretch to be called "collectible", at least yet... a 1998 Mercedes ML350???) ;p
Anyway, I submitted my diesel 60 there (had to ask them to add a "model" designation for the HJ60 under "Toyota"...) mostly for the fun of it, and to get the CSC name out there...
The site says it takes about 48 hrs for a submission to be posted...
I'm sure there are some rigs in the club more deserving of the "collectible" designation that should be on there... Add yours and then tell people you meet that your 'Cruiser is "in the New York Times..." It'll start a conversation for sure...
