On the Lighter Side

On July 29 I broke the tip of my humerus and tore my rotator cuff. Trying to type with those two conditions has been difficult. Today I'm trying again...and so far, no pain...but I'm supposed to get out of my sling tomorrow as the break should be healed. The rotator cuff injury is another story. I'll find that information out tomorrow.   In the meantime, I need to post some pictures as I've not just sat around while waiting for my arm to heal. We went to an old car show which was a lot of fun. The cars of my youth are now old cars. I hope they don't put on an "old person show" any time soon, as we are not quite as shiny as the old cars.

The cutest car there was the 1957 Metropolitan. I remember this car but I don't think I saw too many on the road. This little beauty cost under $1200 when she was new. 

In traffic, she got 30 miles to the gallon! American Motors was ahead of it's time.

My eyes were drawn to this 1955 Oldsmobile because my parents had one of these beauties. We had the Super 88 (this is the 88) in turquoise blue and polar white...those were the days of two tone cars! This car is currently for sale for a mere $22,000.

1958 was the first year of the Chevrolet Impala and this beauty was HOT way back then. It even sported a Continental Kit which made her about 18 inches longer. Those were the days when longer was better.

There were two 1957 Chevrolets...and red one and a blue one.

The blue one sported a Buick grille...who knows why. This one is completely restored and has only 5000 miles on it. The gentleman who had the car said "this car gets lots of attention" and rightly so. She was purty!

You don't see many Studebaker's around anymore. This is a 59 SkyHawk.

I'll end with a 1970 Nova that been "souped" up a bit. This car did not sell well in Mexico because no va means "no go" in Spanish. Not a promising name for a car!
