Glimpses of South Pasadena: Trash ... and Treasure

Trash ... and Treasure

Though it's almost lost behind the leaf bags, that vintage gold Cadillac looks like it yearns to be taken out for a spin.

(And while we're on the subject of Cadillacs, I suppose this is one way to get one ...)

Mister Earl said...: Oh, an great song link! I'd forgotten about that one!

I've got insomnia. I guess I should stick to my WV: "dicav"; April 18, 2009 at 5:14 AM

Wayne said...: Just two questions. How much would it cost to fill the tank? How far will it go on a tank?

Tank seems to be the operative word here.; April 18, 2009 at 9:24 AM

Double "D" said...: Laurie, glad to see you're still wondering
the streets of South Pasadena. You always have
such wonderful shots that tell there own stories.; April 18, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Laurie Allee said...: Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the kind words. And welcome back, Double D! I must get over to your painting blog and see your latest creations. (Everyone, check out Double D's watercolors... so wonderful and evocative.)

I'm glad you guys liked the Johnny Cash. I was reminded of that song when I saw this car. And we all know, everything reminds me of a poem, a movie, or a song. I'd forgotten how funny the lyrics are.

Ann, have a great time in Memphis!

Pasadenaadjacent, I like that too.

Thanks again for being here, everyone. Until tomorrow...; April 19, 2009 at 12:20 AM

You can tell from the spiderwebs connecting it to the ground that it doesn't get around much. This one is a '55. I recognize the taillights - my Dad had a 55 - white over pale blue.; April 19, 2009 at 7:59 PM
