Apple blossoms ...

Poor little Donna Pacer is sick. She has a leak in her radiator. Transplants for her are hard to find.

Gazania....a Pacer! My GF had one of those, she named it bubbles! lol (because of the bubble windows)

That brings back some memories!

Gazania, my son, who is 44 now, wanted one of those in the worse way, when he was 16. If I'm not mistaken they were a discontinued model even way back then, about 1985. We looked at a few, but couldn't find a good one. He got over it. Your Donna is beautiful. I sent your picture to him.

I believe in recycling....yard art/planter.

Mare, our Donna is a 1979. There was just a very few made in 1980 and then they were discontinued. My DH has always loved them. We had 2 of them in the late 80's.They were ahead of their time. We bought Donna from her original owner, named Donna, in Chicago in 1999. Answered an ad on the internet. She had less than 16,000 miles on her.

As it happens, I grew up next door to the girl who became the wife of the man responsible for the development and design of the American Motors Pacer, Richard Teague.

omg I had to have my husband come look at that car! He was in awe of it and how well it has been maintained. Since he is in the car biz he can appreciate that one greatly. Lovely car!

Gazania, I have never seen such a pristine Pacer!! Priceless!!

What a beauty!

Gazania, I sent the picture to my son. I talked to him a little while ago, I told him what you named her, he was really impressed with the Donna"s condition. Thanks for the added info. I'll fwd that to him also. With 16,000 miles on it you obviously don't driver her much, but I'll bet it's fun when you do. You must get some admiring looks.

Mare, Donna now has about 24,000 miles on her. She is in fine shape. All original, but her radiator is now out getting a new core. We did put new tires on her and had the AC repaired. Her interior in medium blue is spotless. Her original owner took very good care of her. She has never been driven in snow. Was always garaged from November to May, as we also do. We enjoy "taking her for a spin" and do a few cruises. She always attracts attention. The so called "muscle cars" are a dime a dozen at most cruises, but Donna is one of a kind and brings out the nostalgia in the older crowd.

Here is another pic for your brother. Taken from above to show her sun roof. Her original owner had this put in. Now, with all that glass surrounding the passengers, why did she need a sun roof! LOL

Those tiny sideview mirrors are worthless, by the way.

Donna Pacer is absolutely beautiful. Hubby and I enjoyed seeing it.

That toilet planter is great. We did one when we lived in Ohio, We also had a twin bed beside it filled with flowers....our flower bed with bedside commode. Then at Christmas we put an inflatable Santa in the bed and I made a big wooden reindeer who was "using" the toilet. We had so many people stop to laugh and take pictures. Even the radio station told people to go down our road and see what the reindeer was doing. LOL
