So, how about showing us what the 89 is SUPPOSED to look like. I have a real problem with an individual snarking in a encryptive manner that leaves must of us in the dark saying "what is this person going on about?" From the looks of the 89's present appearance, I'd say it is a fine example of historic preservation.

Isn't that what all this is about?
