Gorgeous!! So glad the srapper never got this one.
Yes thank goodness for that, and at least she’s in good condition cosmetically speaking. And, after the fact she was preserved, the next best thing is she’s only about a $7 cab ride from the VIA station in Windsor, with the riverfront, views of Detroit & casino/hotels all in the immediate vicinity. Well worth a train ride to Windsor!
I`m in Oakville so it wouldn`t be that long of a drive for me. I have to get down there again, haven`t been to Windsor in years. Thank you for the reply.
No problem, to each their own. I live even closer to Windsor. Drove once. Then took the train. Been riding VIA ever since. Regards, Pete.
