Is a Steam Locomotive"
My (now ex-) wife gave me the license plate frame for Christmas in 1982 or '83. My car at the time was a '66 VW van painted silver with black trim that had Galloping Goose logos on the side and rear windows. The kind folks at the CRRM let me through the gate so I could get a photo of it next to the real Goose 2 ... That's another photo I need to dig out and scan. My present car has a similar frame, but the license itself has been translated into (mis-spelled) German - WNDRGNZ - which is supposed to be an abbreviation of Wandergans.
I'll add the following sticker to my car as soon as I'm sure the C&TS really is going to do something special next August:
There were a pair of similar stickers on it last summer, but the date has been changed twice ...
