Classic

Jul 2016 car show web (5 of 13)

I am Queen of the Out-of-the-Ordinary Afternoon Out.  We missed a classic car show earlier in summer so it was fun to find another one.  If hot.  Really hot. Still we had a blast wandering around imagining roads full of these.  Being rather "classic" ourselves, we didn't need a lot of imagination for some of the eras.

8 tracks.  Now THAT took me back.  My Gram had an 8 track player in the kitchen in the late 70s/early 80s.  Thanks to her I know all the lyrics to 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover  and most of Charlie Rich's top hits.  (just slip out the back Jack, no need to be coy Roy…)

When I was dating my husband he had a beat up blue Opal that no longer had an operational gas meter. We would fill it up and then do the math to figure out how long before we ran out.   The Cars tape made that whole decrepit vehicle shake when he blasted it from the tape deck.  

Old, I know.

Extra points if you got the Beach Boys reference.

Spent ten bucks to buy cold drinks.  The crazy memories were free.  Fun day! 

One thought on “Classic

  1. Love the COLOR in the 1950s cars — so different from today! Also ‘Charming Charlie’s,’ speaking of color. πŸ™‚ Dangerous place!
