The Blues

I think my vintage car series has more blue cars than red ones... but who's counting?

Still known for their Hemi engines, muscle enthusiasts who swerved away from the GM's and Fords were true to their Mopars.

We've been watching the Mecum Muscle Car auction in Kissimmee Florida on tv for the past few days so I've gained even more knowledge of my vintage car smarts. Loving old cars as I do, this just makes me smile. I bet this jewel has that old quilt smell inside (like our '69 Camaro has).

Mister Earl said...: We bought a brand-new '62 light blue Dodge Dart. It was the one that really looked like a Dart as it narrowed into a wedge shape at the front. It had the push-button gear shift, and it was our first with bucket seats.

Dixie Jane said...: Butterfly McQueen, "Didn't know nothin' about birthin' babies" and I am in the same fix with vintage cars. But I do enjoy Judy's knowledge of them. (And I have driven a few.); January 31, 2010 at 8:56 AM

To know that some little old lady in South Pasadena may be cruising in her old blue bomb is amazing (or maybe some teen!)
Very fun to see.
