Ready to Rev

The greatest dreams are always unrealistic.
~Will Smith


I stopped in at a car show the other day....
their was so much chrome and shine.
It could even make a girl drool.
:)

I apologize now for not knowing the make or model or year of this beauty~
Actually...I know that it was a Ford.
That's the extent of my knowledge.
Sorry to disappoint the car lovers out there~
it's usually the color and style that gets my attention.
I have no loyalties to any particular maker.

I did see my dream car there...it was exactly what I've been dreaming of~
A big vintage truck that was converted to a four door....
you know~ to fit the whole fam
~wood runners in the back~
{{sigh}}

It was appraised that day


make a guess.....


{$75,000}

{{sigh again}}

well

a girl can dream.

We should have kept the classic cars of our youth - would make a tidy nest egg now, but who would've thought some of those cars would be worth so much today ! Lovely story to go along with your nostalgic photo !

I hope things are going better for Shauna these days - still in our prayers.

Wonderful DoF and focus. Some of those old cars sure are pretty ... but ouch! that price tag.

Cool photo and you bet a girl can dream, without our dreams we'd be a darn boring lot now wouldn't we? :-)

I love how you have captured this, a fantastic depth of field, such an interesting angle

Cool photo! My husband wants a '55truck {I can't think of which one} some day...I'm sure it would cost a pretty penny, too:)

Oooo... PRETTY! Pretty hefty price tag too... OUCH! LOL! I love vintage cars. We saw a vintage car parade earlier this summer--such fun! Thanks for the welcome... London was nothing short of amazing! It is the best city--I can easily daydream of living there...*sigh*...Happy Days ((HUGS))

I'd rather see the cars from angles as in the pic you posted today...cars don't hold a lot of charm for me on the whole. Five wheels and an engine is all I need...well, four wheels and a steering mechanism! Drool on, though, as long as you keep posting the cool pics!

I love this photo!! I like pretty much anything vintage, and some of those old cars are just so elegant looking. You captured the elegant, vintage feel very well!

On my bucket list is a '67 candy apple red convertible.....like you I only know the designs and colors that I like. Many, many prayers for Shauna and big hugs to you and your family......:-)Hugs
