I CAME LATE TO THE CRUISE-IN LAST EVENING BUT HAD A PRETTY GOOD TIME, ESPECIALLY AT THE END WHEN TWO MERCEDES OWNER/FANS STOPPED BY MY 380 SL AND TALKED SHOP. ABOVE ARE THE PHOTOS OF TWO CARS THAT INTERESTED ME FOR VERY DIFFERENT REASONS: A 1959 (?) CHRYSLER IMPERIAL AND A MID-1960S MG. THE IMPERIAL WAS A TRUE SURVIVOR WITH ORIGINAL INTERIOR AND A FEW DINGS ON THE BODY. I ALWAYS LIKED THE REAR TAILLIGHTS. THE MGB WAS EXTREMELY WELL RESTORED AND EVEN HAD A PERIOD NISONGER RADIO! NICE WORK ON THAT CAR.
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.
