Too hot!
Is it just me or does the hot weather affect seeing old cars? Can it be too hot to fire up the oldie or just too hot to ride around in it. Was in the sunny north recently and saw a town square full of oldies of all sorts. It was a real mix from the 30's to the 60's and all were well restored or great survivors.
Old jewell of the past.
It may not be old by classic car standards or valuable like a Auburn or Cord but my latest sighting has a lot going for it. A 1963 Ford Falcon 2 dr. sedan with a 6 cylinder followed by an automatic is hardly an earth shaker but I like it because it was the first car I actually owned. This particular example red with a matching blah and sun faded worn interior. The Falcon does not run but there is enough room under the hood for a mechanic party.
Running or not it's a good car with no visible rust and the potential to return me for a blast from the past. My version of this was Corinthian white with a brownish clothlike interior. I never won any speed contests with the GT 170 as it was called but it got me there and brought me back. It was the car my wife and I started our life together with and we enjoyed many trips in it.
When my ship comes in or I win the lottery possibly I will buy this trusty vision from the past and once again terrorize the roads. Remember Old Cars are everywhere if only in your mind.
