This Laurel sits at one of the popular junkyards. I’m not sure what it looks like currently but, when I took this pic, I was pretty much in love with it.

When I saw these two sitting next to each other in the parking area at the Okinawa Motor Festival, I new it was too good to pass up – two fine examples of 180′s built in completely different manners. We’ll start with the matte, camo green 180 you see above…
