Morgansdad Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) If you and I met for the first time and I told you that I was blind from birth, how would you describe your favorite old car/truck in fifteen (15 ) words or less. Remember I've been blind from birth. I truly hope I don't offend anyone, I just would like to know how you feel about your garage baby. I will start. Me to you: Driving it is like the sun shining on your face @ a constant 72 degrees.

Paul Dobbin Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I've seen many Model A drivers on tours that I think were blind. Was that you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgansdad Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Paul Dobbin, not likely but I do get distracted quite a bit while driving. 60Flattop, love to play pinball, but, I'm no wizard. Steve_Mack_CT, I love it, If I sat in that car, I would fully understand. Dustycrusty, sounds like a beautiful ride. JamesR, right up my ally, LOL ! Happy Fourth to all. Don't ever forget why. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgansdad Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Had a great fourth today. I was able to drive both my '29 Model A and my '73 Corvette. Love them both equally but differently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Puberty at about the time the white 1954 Cadillac convertible hit the showroom, A cousin visiting during the late '40s, driving one a yellow Buick, but similar to the 1941 Cadillac convertible, As a young child during WWII, seeing a politician in something comparable to the 1930 Packard Touring, Seeing New York City Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia with (then) General Dwight David Eisenhower in a Ticker Tape Parade, and they were riding in this 1937 Buick Roadmaster Phaeton - LaGuardia's parade car, We can define my years by the cars I love, and no, the red Corvette convertible is NOT a mid-life crisis, just an homage to my continued appreciation of style, speed, and AMERICAN SPIRIT !!!

Oldsmobile 83 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 We had a beautiful day in Rochester, MN today so, I decided to take my '83 Hurst/Olds out for a drive since I have not had it out much this summer. On the way home, I stopped at a stop light and in the lane next to me, a guy in a van was looking at my car, not paying attention to where he was going and rear-ended the car in front of him. I felt bad because the guy he hit had just given me a thumbs up at the previous stop light a block earlier. Just thankful that they were in the lane next to me and that it did not involve my car.
