It was windy, and while sunny, the day had started off with rain. So it was a small number of cars last evening at the Cruise-In. In addition to Robert Shinkle's 1970 Jaguar XKE, I took photos of a mid-1950s Ford decked in Yellow and White and a Plymouth Barracuda, probably a 1966 or 1967. It is only the beginning of the season, however, and I am excited!
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.

ReplyDelete"It was windy, and while sunny, the day had started off with rain" Haha, i love your first beginning sentence. The background is suitable with your old-school cars. It sounds romantic and no sight is free of sadness.
