Unfortunately mine was somewhat less-than-gorgeous: I paid $40 for it, and the engine blew up 3 hrs later - turns out it had a bad rod knock which the guys that sold it to me had solved by packing the crankcase with grease. It sat parked for a few months at my folks' house, and when I left for Kodiak, Alaska the morning after I graduated high school at age 17 in 1967, my parents took the opportunity to disappear it. My buddy Dick had a green 1950 or '51 (which were the ones represented in your picture - also Loewy designed), which we named 'Green Death' - which was coincidentally also our name for Olde English Malt Liquor - that served nobly as the platform for many adolescent hijinks... My grandmother had a 56 Dodge like the one pictured - which she foolishly let me borrow for a weekend trip with a buddy when I was barely 16... I remember driving it at a constant 100 mph on I-5 from the town of Woodburn, OR to Salem. When we left the parking lot of the motel we stayed at in Salem the next morning, the brakes totally failed, and I rolled across 4 lanes of traffic, fortunately unscathed. My buddy was a great mechanic, and fixed the brakes before I took it back to Grandma.

I love the photos - they're great - and the camera certainly seems to be a great buy. But, what I personally love most about your blog post today is how you met the gentleman and developed not only a conversation and some fantastic photos, but found and shared one more piece of culture and heritage. Those of us who search out these opportunities can share them with, not only like-minded people, but with those who maybe don't have the where-with-all to search them out themselves. I love today's blog post!mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-60904642688127890692013-07-12T10:45:11.345-04:002013-07-12T10:45:11.345-04:00Awesome photos.
