Nostalgia & History > waiting for a "nip tuck" makeoverDate: 10/20/05 22:25 waiting for a "nip tuck" makeover Author: xtra1188w Here is yellow bonnet #326 waiting at Cleburne in 1976 for her rebirth as a CF-7. I remember taking this picture, it's on Plus X film, but the colors were yellow, blue striping and a silver flank.
