Cars, Cars, Everywhere, Cars!
I’d like to start sharing a ‘Car of the Week’ video and a ‘Car of the Week’ photo.
Did I ever tell you I love cars?
Every time I go to a car show or a cruise night, I fall in love with another car. Only last week, it was a bright red 1950s Oldsmobile. If you want more of this car (And others) check out some of our social media where ALL our photos come up!
So, here we are. My choice, my car! 😊
I would let Jacob, my grandson, loose on this page, but then we might not have “my cars.” Even as I write this, I think he and I may pull a car out of our pictures and go “head-to-head” occasionally.
For me, a car needs to have class. Maybe that comes across in style, color, or stance. For me, while I love looking at cars from the 1960s and 1970s, I also appreciate some of the vehicles from the 1920s to the 1940s. And Jacob got to help out on 1929 REO this past week, so he is not just chasing the Fast and Furious or the Euro cars. On the other hand, I love Porsches, old school MGs, Triumphs, and of course, Ferraris, Rolls, and Mercedes.
Jacob and I love cars! (Does that make us shallow? HAHA!)
This will be our first round of a weekly picture and video.
And while I was checking out cars this morning, I thought how cool it would be if people sent in their pictures and videos. (And if you are a regular photographer of cars, why not reach out to us?
Here are some of the things I want to work on. This week, I will be posting one of our videos from a cruise night at Frogg Brewing. Going forward, I (and you) will look at these.
