I bought my first car even without having a driving-licence. It was a Ford Capri. Actually I still own 2 Capri's now.... And both of the baby's need work before hitting the road again.
When I met boyfriend my dream of owning an American became reality. Boyfriend already had one, and he also owned and sold a lot of beauty's. On this moment we have 5 "stayers" and 3 "come and gone'rs".
I love the sound of the V8's and feel the power when you hit the pedal. I am a pedal to the metal girl. ;)
What I also love are the meetings. The Custom Culture meetings. The RockaBilly meetings. The regular car-meetings. There is so much to see, boys and girls all dressed up. Beautifull cars. The stalls that are selling great dresses and stuff. But now, the summer is coming to an end and so is the meeting season.... I will miss the cars and people. But now maybe I will find some time to work on my sweet project. :)
Me and our 1958 Plymouth Fury Suburban with the famous Christine nose.

Our 1958 Pontiac Chieftain DeLuxe, who was my daily last year.
My "project" a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal
It still needs a lot of work..... :( But now I have a pair of Fins!
This is the 1953 Plymouth Cranbrook who was my first American Car.
I bought it from our good friend Ton and with boyfriend as co-owner.
It was standing in a barn for over 13 years when we saved it.
On this photo she is back on the road for the first time, after more then 13 years and a lot of love and work.
I traded her last year for the Dodge. She is now used for wedding car.

I was thinking of you when we were watching American Gaffiti the other night!All those lovely old cars!! I've always loved cars pre 80's,I adore 70's pimp mobiles, and all the 50's & 60's beauties,I also love those wonderful 20's & 30's gliding machines! But I only learnt to drive 2 years ago!!! I think thouh,that I like to drive modern cars, and I just want to be seen in old cars!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove that last pic,you're gorgeous!!XXX
Ow how sweet of you! I didn't see the movie but I hope to see it soon!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThank you for that last pic. You are very gorgeous to!
And when you love to drive in classic style with modern luxery, then you must look for a (1969) Chrysler Imperial. It is a limousine and it has even more luxe than a modern car. ( I really cried when boyfriend sold ours....)
They are fab. I love seeing vintage cars on the road. If I was mechanically minded I woul invest in one myself. I know what you mean about the end of the season feeling. Our vintage caravan is getting cleaned and covered up for the winter tomorrow xx
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow! Those are great cars right there! Dad bought my first car when I was 17 and I didn't have a license that time! I've had three cars all in all (which are sold already) and now, I'm enjoying my new Dodge. =)

“Since I was a young girl I am in love with cars.” – Well, you and I are on the same page here! Cars have been a childhood favorite of mine. And that love never fades even now. I’m always fascinated by these road machines, especially the old ones. The designs and build are impeccable, making you wish that you have one in your garage.[Leisa Dreps]
