  1. Gorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous old cars!!!!!!! My husband would "drool"!!!! ,-)

    The immaculate Chevrolet Corvette, looks the most "drool-worthy" to me.

    One of our sons, has an old Mustang red convertible. :-))))

    And my husband has a 1930 Chevrolet Coupe with a rumble seat. The same model, as my mother had, when I was growing up, "Back at the beginning of time."

    Plus his 1950 5 window Chevy Truck.

    Yes, this is an old car loving family.

    1. We also love old cars and in South Africa we had several from time to time. We lived in the perfect climate there with no rust and the cars lasted for ever. We have no old ones now as they need a better climate than we have here, or at least somewhere where they can be garaged in a good environment. We just enjoy now joining friends who have old cars instead. Glad you enjoyed this post. Keep well Diane

  5. Outstanding photos Diane and how I love those old cars. I was looking forward to these. As long as they run I would love an old car, the older the better. There are some real beauties here.

    1. I am amazed how many people actually love old cars, thought we were low in numbers :-)) We have a number of those striped bugs around this year, they must be breeding well!! Hope you feel 100% better very soon Diane
