You’re welcome. Glad you enjoyed them. Thank God there are still plenty of folks around keeping this stuff alive, at least for now. Hopefully, the newer generations will pick it up and continue on.

I went to a spectacular "Concours d'Elegance" at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys, California yesterday. I'm guessing about 300 vehicles there of all vintages including some amazing Pierce Arrows and Packards, plus a lot of late 50s and early 60s beasts with fins and huge hood ornaments.

But, the attendees were mostly geezers, with a few in their forties, a handful in their thirties, none that I saw in their twenties or teens. There were some young people from the local 4H and FFA groups but that was because this is a benefit event for them and they were not even looking at the cars. So I am afraid this love of the automobile as a symbol of American freedom, creativity and industrial might may be fading fast. Sad ...
