Hi folks -- not as a packed a scene this morning at Cars and Coffee. We had a bit of rain at sunrise and there was a threat of more coming, but it held off and it turned out to be a very nice event. Since it was not as crowed as previously, I had an easy time parking the Benz with space to spare. A few cars caught my eye and thus are included -- a 1965 VW, a Mitsubishi Gallant, a 1968 Cougar dressed up as a 1967. Note the rear camber in the VW -- I guess for handling? Very little clearance back there. The Gallant was in a league of its own with regards to graphics. Had a good time talking to a number of the younger German car owners. They were really friendly and I appreciated that -- some street racing going on (not associated with the event), but I won't tell anyone!!
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.
