Gary,
Maybe because I'm a grandpa and getting sentimental, I liked your post a
lot. When I bought my 78 SSII in 1979, I also got the atlas you describe.
Unfortunately, I kept it in the Scout and like everything else it got wet a
number of times. That Scout was a beauty. There's a pretty good picture of
it in the ihvehicles section of my web page. I think you'd like it. The
only Scout relics that I have except for my Scout are a couple of "Scout,
anything else is just a car" stickers and my service manual. I had a belt
buckle and some other stuff that had little value to me then, but I wish I
had now.
Keep on Scouting boy!
John
