Not on my MM but thought you'd all would appreciate a cool ride with a xmas tree on it. The weather was so nice here the beginning of December I drove to get a tree with the 442, I had 4 others with me otherwise I was going to drop the top

Nice car! I like the paint scheme. Your brave though, I'd be afraid an errant branch might poke a hole in the rag top.

I love that car. I wish they would remake that because the body on those things was just amazing. Looks clean as hell and I sure would have had more than a tarp for my top. Youre quite brave haha

thanks guys, it was fun, you would be surprised how light the tree was and it was a nine footer (Doom "that's what she said!")

Was visiting a friend in the hospital the other day and a guy stopped me and said he recognized me from driving a 442 with a tree on top, said at first he thought I was nuts but then realized "there's a guy enjoying his car." If I thought it would damage it I wouldn't have even tried but even the tree guy got a kick out of it, in all the years he's been selling trees he never put one on a convertible, one vette but no convertible.

Ha! That's soooo cool!!!! I second the Christmas card idea, I might have dropped the top & let it ride in the back seat!, but my cutlass is a hardtop. Awsome!

I took my girls with me so it wouldn't fit in the car - I was going to drop the top and have it sticking out the back seat. I took a few other photos maybe one of the others are a bit brighter, your right should use it as a card next year.

thanks Joe, here's 1 more

Awesome. Great seeing the car being used. I was worried when I read the title because I was thinking I remembered it had a light top when at Westchester but then I saw the tarp. Very very cool and it would make a cool Christmas card
