I rode by this a few days ago. A passerby said that the owner paints it every few months to keep it fresh.

Does he paint a different design every few months? I approve.

Good question! Based on hearing about it from a passerby, I’ll bet it lives around there, so if I remember, I’ll ride by there sometime this summer and see if it’s changed.

That’s an ‘87.

Got the location on Google maps? Might be able to find it parked around the neighborhood over the years with StreetView and see some other colors.

Makes me wonder if he owner has actually only owned these two, and the neighbor assumed it had been repainted , cuing the “ paints it every few months to keep it fresh.” comment.
