Congratulations on a kick ass score!! That cover is awesome! That lime is one of the cleanest picked up I've seen in a while.

I gave it a quick rinse and snapped some pics when I got home from work. The color seems to change in every pic. The only damage is to the lid handle and front handle. I'll  give the inside a good cleaning in a few days.

Nice score. Are those old school covers thicker like the premium covers today or more like the thin grey colored covers?

The cover is heavy vinyl. Much thicker than any modern cover. I'm surprised it stayed flexible being stored in a hot attic all of these years.

Cool. I'm guessing that it is heavy duty like the old school 80s and early 90s WSM covers that were made from thick vinyl. That grill is really pretty to look at.

That is just beautiful!! And you got the classic WKC "it's in the back of my truck!" photo. That lid handle looks to be in awesome shape. I hear that unlike the Cados, the Limey's change colors slightly when hot? Like the yellows and reds?

I've seen the red and yellow change colors... never a lime, though... somebody needs to get on that & post pics!

My lime changes just ever so slightly. Gets a shade darker. See if I can find some good pics that show it. My C&B performer changes also but only with a really big hot load of coal in it.

Nice lime looks to be in tip top shape!
