Long time not here. Recently moved to a new home and have had little or no time to do the blog. Took my 74 Beetle to its first car gathering and got a lot of favorable comments . There was a real mix of cars mainly from the 60's and 70's, with a restored military truck to flavor the bunch. Saw a really neat early 50's step down Hudson in a parking lot and talked to the owner. He really did not know what he had and I shared some facts with him. His was a 52 model and appeared to be a survivor from the southwest. Keep looking as your car encounter is just around the corner.
