Spring has sprung and car shows are just around the corner!   

 Ok, we turned the corner already and found one last weekend at a local high school.  It was pretty incredible to have such a nice day and so many nice cars to see! 

  

Here are some of my favorite pic's:

This 1960 cadillac CoupedeVille is so pretentiously long that one can't even fit it into a picture, nevermind a parking spot.

  

A turquoise '55 Chevy Bel Air is our sweetheart favorite.  Its our birth year   and since we were born only 3  days apart I can't think of a better car to represent both of us.  

        

I'm becoming familiar with the Ford Victorias...mostly because I'm fond of Queen Victoria and this regal car has lots of chrome in front that looks like a flowing 'V'.  For Victoria of course!

     A 50's Mercury that can only

     be lovingly called, "A BOAT!"

  

As a mother, and a school teacher, I can see only one thing here in this '63 Chevy Impala: a teenager dragging his heels.   Aw, mom, do I have to wear a suit?  

 Another Teen sentiment:

There was some discussion over who 

should sit in the rumble seat of this 5 

window coupe.

I quietly stayed in the background to 

avoid being picked.

This  '68 Mustang looked super cool with a glistening cherry red coat.  Giddy-up let's go!

Another Mercury--big rounded curves everywhere--called the Montclair and    appropriately nicknamed "Caramel Sundae".   I'm totally for anything that

has ice cream in it.  And Caramel, especially salted caramel, is my favorite ice cream flavor.

                                   

 

       Sometimes its just about the wheels.   

     We pondered these for a long time.

     I didn't have the heart to suggest that 

     they would look good on       

     the caramel sundae.     

                               

 Harry & I couldn't decide if this rat-rod   had patina or a really bad paint job.   It certainly looked intimidating. 

Some vehicles have significance for us because our kids have something like it.  Our son just bought a GMC pick-up truck like this one  with a lot less features on it but still with a lot of character, just because its old!

And this one, well, it's just like any woman in the 1960's---what hat should I wear today?

TIME FOR ICE CREAM!
