A beauty from TFM. Of course John's pics knock it out of the park. This is the original version. I have the D4C Club Car version in what should have been "Miami Sand." The membership was given the option to vote on the color. My vote went to Packard Blue, but sadly, "Miami Sand" won that vote. An out of spec monitor dictated the actual color for the Club Car, if I recall.  The good old days.

@sizedoesmatter The threads that went on and on about the "Miami Sand" debacle. Those were classic rants. LOL

IMO the Packard Blue would have been dynamite but I don't mind the Sand.

Don't know about rants previously rendered here, but I like the photos John has shared.  Looks like an awesome model.
