SUNRISE ON A NEW DAY!
Over this past year, I have been only one of many Blogger's who has come to enjoy Minerva over at "A Woman of Many Parts". She has some spectacularly Good News to report! And let's face it, we could all use some Good News that is Hopeful, right? So, go over to the Right-Hand Margin of my Blogroll and click on her site to drop by "across the pond" and say hello! Minerva is an outstanding writer and a true source of warmth and inspiration.

The second of four kids in my family (my brother) and me (the fourth and last) are certified motorheads. We've always shared a passion for cars and their design. While I was having the oil changed in my car the other day, a 1950 Packard was parked in the bay next to me. The owner was generous and allowed me to snap photos of it. My Sister-In-Law (according to my Mom) reads my Blog daily. I have no independent verification of this, however, if she sees this Blogpost I hope she tells my brother his photos have been placed in the mailbox. See you tomorrow!
U.S. Mailboxes similar to what I use weekly!
1950 Packard Super 8 "Mr. Miyagi" would approve!

Sweet Packard! ;o)
I thought of you the other day when I saw this '36 Chevy coupe on a friend's blog. You can see it by clicking on the link:

It's gorgeous, and the guy only wants 25 grand for it. Too bad I don't have that much pocket change...
Have a good Wednesday, Michael.
Love and hugs,
Diane
Well, shoot! The link isn't live so I guess you'll have to copy and paste it.
xoxoxo
Diane j: How nice of you to remember me and my love of cars--among other interests! I'd love to take a look! (((HUGS))) to you! :)
Diane j: I believe I photographed the car you referenced in 2005 at a Car Show in Milford, Ohio. The price is in line with some wiggle room, but it is a very expensive hobby only few can afford ala Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld.:)
Michael,
My friend, whose blog I linked you to for the Chevy, lives in Kentucky. Not that far at all from Ohio, so it's definitely a possibility!
As you say, Wild! ;o)

What a lovely sunrise! Fitting for Minerva's good news. I just recently started visiting her blog, she's extraordinary.
I'm not into cars much but that Packard is a work of art.
Wax On, Wax Off
Happy Hump Day Michael
I love the sunrise pic Michael!
I will check out Minerva....
we are looking for an old car to restore. Hopefully we'll find just the "right" one soon!
dianne: "Wax On, Wax Off"! You got it!:D))I have a wonderful story about Pat Morita later.
diane j.: I'm sure that was it then!
Patti: What a great project! It can be $$$$ though. See you soon!
I want to say I ALMOST remember those-- ALMOST! LOL!
I visited Minerva-- that is wonderful news!!
Nice sunrise. I do look forward to days of sunshine, sand and open water.
Carolyn: Minerva is an Amazing person isn't she?
Jessica: Yes, and I must say I've looked forward to Minerva's day which has clearly arrived with this same sense of HOPE! A great piece of Good News for anyone who has followed Minerva's tenacious journey!
