From the ’50s, Ctd

We took a few more pics today (here’s Thursday’s pics), and my Arts Editor has worked them over, removing extraneous details (such as owners chasing us with pitchforks :)) to produce these…

I prefer the BelAir on the right, it looks like a working car. Not that its buddy on the left is a slouch…

CAM00362

A basic work-a-day convertible, charming without being over the top.

CAM00364

THIS is over the top. We never saw its front, we were stuck in traffic behind him. On the right it says, “In Memory of Harry Smith”.

Three family cars. There’s something about this last pic I really like.

CAM00357

Finished? Or more to come?

CAM00366

Massive and overstated! Too bad we couldn’t get a pic of the hood ornament, but we were actually in traffic and snapped this while we were stopped. We suspect it’s Lalicque.

CAM00353

This is a bit ungainly, no? But wait for the backside!

CAM00354 (1)CAM00359

A bit of an artsy picture. “Car, unnamed hotel, Roseville, MN”.

358-b

The best for last. The owner offered to sell it to us. I should have asked the price. It’s a ’53.

Glorious, eh?
