The 50s and early 60s were the high-water mark in the American automobile industry. <br />The cars today are more functional, but none can touch the beauty of the old beasts.<br />RRick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-35916740716868660272015-05-04T07:33:00.419-04:002015-05-04T07:33:00.419-04:00I remember all those things.

I remember too the takes I spent shinning up all those ornamental features till they sparkled. Now my poor old car is lucky to get a bath twice a year. Going through stuff and finding love letters is a bonus. I know I've a few stashed away someplace. Nice to slow down and take time to smell the roses at times. Sounds like you did need a break. It's going to be another lovely day here. So nice to finally be warmer!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-92062673984907602712015-05-03T21:29:57.671-04:002015-05-03T21:29:57.671-04:00In answer to the question by Myra:

When they came into town they were covered in canvas and were unloaded after dark.

Think I told about someone stealing my brother's fender skirts at a Naval Reserve meeting so the next week my brother and cousin were late going in so they could steal them back.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007728342316668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-66131746009177374032015-05-03T19:25:14.594-04:002015-05-03T19:25:14.594-04:00Those were the days when cars were cars.

(For lack of a better term.) Except for the occasional Mercedes, I miss seeing them on 'ordinary' vehicles. <br /><br />To be honest, the first photo made me wrinkle my nose. Then again, I don't think too many late-model vehicles are especially attractive either. Good thing, since my '05 Camry needs to last me another 20-30 years!
