On the road to buy groceries, I always get to pass by this car lot with some of most beautiful, curvaceous pieces of machinery ever to come out of America's yesterdays. I stopped by to talk to the owner a few days ago to ask my WWWH's (Why? Where? Who? How?) for a story in the Woodstock Community Guide. He told me that when he was a younger man, he used to go there, then a gas station, for his RC Cola's and moonpies. When he saw it for lease, he knew what he had to do.
The thing is, they are such living characters, these Cars From Then. Now they seem as alien and gorgeous as a spaceship.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this magic.

Tell him his favorite is also my favorite. I've always wanted a Shelby Mustang, and now that my last name IS Shelby, I want it even more. I earn for it. Too bad Stephen's family is of no relation. I should just knock on Carroll Shelby's door and ask him :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous photo. I love it.
ReplyDeleteCandace, Gretchen, and JarieLyn,
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting! Gretchen, I told him what you said about the Shelby. :) That blue Plymouth is my favorite!
