Hi folks -- a busy night at the cruise-in! As I was about to leave I started to take a photo of an old Harley with a side car and two women came up to the motorcycle. They didn't want to get in the way of the shot, but as I told them, I prefer having people in the photo as much as the vehicle. After all, the vehicle is just an inanimate thing, and not nearly as interesting as people. So here is a shot with Nancy and Mary ( I do not know who is who!)
Below was a very nice 1959 Triumph TR-3. The owner only has $12,000 in it!
Note the cut-down height of the windshield.
This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.
