I was lucky to get this shot since Fair Oaks is usually parked up on Saturday afternoons. Jon, LIttle Bit and I had eaten lunch at Gus's and we all ooohed and ahhhed over that gorgeous old car. It looked like a big toy!
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena.
