Great classic!<br /><br />Chicamom: How cool is that? Her car in a movie! She didn't know Meathead? (Didn't she see Archie Bunker reruns or any of the movies he has directed?) We haven't been down to that cruise, but I bet it was great!<br /><br />BarbiePhobia: Thanks! Loved being there and loved taking them.<br /><br />Lynn: That is exactly what I thought when I was there. They are truly art!<br /><br />Shellmo: Thanks so much! Some of them were "cut off" due to the limited margins in the blog...but I did love catching the logos and hood ornaments and grills in shots, too.<br /><br />VaBookworm: Thanks! I love them all...the really old ones and the ones from the 40's, 50's. I loved that big caddy!<br /><br />SquirrelQueen: Thanks. I loved them too.<br /><br />Bernie: Thanks. It was such fun walking around and imagining what the world was like when they were on the streets!<br /><br />Loree: Thanks! They were truly unique!<br /><br />Sue: Thanks...I will be posting more photos of them tomorrow (tell your hubby!) ha<br /><br />Ratty: How neat! Tell him to hurry up and get the restoration done...he will be on demand for all the parades once it is done.The Retired Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466803019073952351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-75234856536545448802009-06-23T06:56:01.596-04:002009-06-23T06:56:01.596-04:00I love seeing all of these old cars, but I'm a...I love seeing all of these old cars, but I'm always jealous of the owners. My dad told me he is restoring an old pickup from the 1940's. I wish I lived closer to him so I could help.

Looking back it's hard to believe we drove these huge cars compared to today. Great pictures you took Joan, so enjoyable.

One of my friends has a beautiful 58 Chevy that is mint and she had it in a show at Henry Ford Museum. Someone handed her card from Rob Reiner who wants to use it in a movie. How cool!! She didn't even know who he was lol.<br /><br />AnneZiggy Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14203760234180476883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803801517332763895.post-21990487650844578622009-06-22T16:08:51.684-04:002009-06-22T16:08:51.684-04:00Lots of familiar cars - 50s were my jr hi and high...Lots of familiar cars - 50s were my jr hi and high school years. I had a 55 ford in high school. Also my dad had one of those tan cars with the rumble seat he used to drive to do paint jobs. He'd often take us riding in the rumble seat.
