I'd love to have a vehicle like this for our weekend drives (to nowhere?).
I can just see me in a Veronica Lake hairdo , you in fedora and zoot suit, meandering down all those country roads...ahhh to dream...

Nice poem and cool images. I love the references to old Hollywood and glamour. Quite amazing what can be said in so few words. Good job!

Mmm, that's gorgeous. I was definitely raised to appreciate old cars by my mother who used to do most of the work on her '69 Wildcat while I sat in a babyseat on the lawn...

Donna - Oh yeah, Baby. Auto-mo-bubbling, you and I.

Nancy - Thanks. I just went with the impressions the car stirred up.

Emily L. - "69 Wildcat.. Cool !! And she turned her own wrenches. Double cool !! Sounds like some great memories.

Great poem Bill!

I prefer the 1963 409 dual-quad model to the 1936 but that's because I suffer from automotive dyslexia.

Cheers,

After you saw this car, did your clothes turn into a pinstripe suit and were you suddenly holding a tommy gun ?

Whose car Bill? I vote for Bergman over Bogart - but I will take the car over both.

Nathan - Sorry. I don't know the owner. The car was parked along the side of the road and I stopped and took the pictures.

Liz - Could be. It kind of was to me.
