Thanks to "A Unionist" for the video link! You don't have email on your profile, so I couldn't thank you properly, but I sure appreciate this video!

Have you seen anything uglier than this Mercer Cobra?

1954 Monza program, many thanks to Tris and her Dad, Newt, for letting me borrow this to share with you






This is a cool little van thing, I don't remember if I've seen a name for it, but the bottle opener is a cool touch

Thanks to JohnDandy and Asterics for recognizing it as a Tempo Matador! I should have remembered it, but my memory is so bad, you are looking at it, if I need to recall something I look in this blog for it. Ain't that ridiculous?

Views of the Cruise for the Cause from the mall balcony


..................................

The variety of eye catching things I spotted at the Cruise for the Cause

The owner of the above car has a great sense of humor, when I asked him about the unusual round antenna he told me it's a satellite antenna... from Canada

Lots of cool options and accessories, how cool is the umbrella holder on the right hand side of the photo



awesome Pontiac steering wheel center section

Beautiful clock design
