    I wonder if winning the Concours d'Lemons gets you an automatic invitation to the Concorso d'Eleganza...

    I can't help but imagine the conversation going on in that last photo:

    (guy on left): I'm never talking to you again. You F*ing forgot to put oil in the car?

    (guy on right)- /facepalm/ Sorry. The delivery lady showed up and I got distracted. I just forgot. Sorry.


    (OK, I can't think of something clever, but there was definitely something going on there)

    I also believe that the best cars came from the 50s and 60s. The Ferrari 250, the Aston Martin DB5, the list goes on and on.

    I was going over some old family photos from the 1930s, 40s and 50s over the Easter weekend with my mother. She was getting annoyed because I cared more about the cars than the 3rd cousins or whatever in the photos. I found a great photo of my grandfater in a 1930s sedan-delivery of some sort (not a Ford)when he worked for Palmolive as a salesman. There was also a great photo of a 1940 Mercury and a Kaiser Manhattan.
