Old

I came across these two cars and stopped to look them over, because I am old too. The cars and I are well taken care of, and I hope we all have some spunk left in us!





Your radiator's busted,
      And your dustpan's on the bum;
      Your gearshift's dry and rusted,
      And you cannot go or come...
Your windshield's broke, your starter's stuck,
      The rear-end lights won't burn;
      In fact, old top, you're out of luck
      And hardly worth a durn.

it has been years and year since I heard the ain't worth a durn, words from my childhood. I love both of these lovely old cars, the one in the first photo is like the one I stood on the front seat between my parents, when I was age 2. daddy drove us 90 miles to see him mother.. I don't remember it but I heard the story a lot

We have several here that own several old cars. However, they are in excellent shape and very pricey.

"Old" is an ok thing. The older I get, the more I realize that to be so true. *lol* Love, Andrea xoxo

These people are really creative, Ginny!

These cars are well taken care of and truly one of the kind! When I was teenager, I though 30 was old but that idea has certainly changed :-)
P.S. Niko’s cushions were bought in Japan. I want to get more, but unfortunately they seem to be discontinued. Sigh!

That's a great poem to go with these lovely old cars. I have often had a dream of driving one of these old beauties around. Another great header shot Ginny :)
