How I Roll

Some of you may know by now that I have old car lust.  What I desire is NOT what most people consider a cool 50's hot rod.  My dream is to own an original, "deadstock", classy lady, vintage 1950's era car that has remained completely untouched by

Garage Grandpa's and their youthful hot rod dreams

and not

chopped and hacked by Rat Rod Rockabillies.  

My dream car is to look as if she has just rolled off the

dealer showroom floor. 

I have expressed this car lust clearly on my sidebar singing the praises of the

1955 Dodge La Femme

complete with pink two tone exterior and pink rosebud interior with

matching raincoat, umbrella, and makeup tote..

But wait...we interupt this regularly scheduled blog to bring you the following...

...Introducing the 1955 Packard Clipper Custom. 

Factory Flame Red and Black painted exterior with red and black cloth brocade interior.  This beauty features

factory air conditioning, power windows, power and heated front seat, and original Wonderbar radio. 

She is completely untouched except for an engine and tranny rebuild about 8000 miles ago. 

But the best part of this story is that...

SHE IS ALL MINE!!! 

She and I, we belong together. 

We both understood this and I purchased her last week.

Since then I have spent just about every available moment researching her, tinkering with her, shining her up, and just drooling over her...next on the list, Coker's! 

 My car life is now complete and the supreme pleasure of just driving her around town is more than I can express. 

Frankie and Levi get to be my passengers as we float in the boat of the amazing ride that my beauty offers...

and we may even "hook 'er up" to the trailer. 

I highly recommend the joy of owning a classic to everyone.

Can the simplicities of life get any better than this?
