No... doggone it, it's not my new ride. Well we made it to mid-week without too much of interest. Ran a bunch of errands, made a visit to ALPINE VILLAGE to hook-up with a couple of old High School pals, Fred Benham & Craig Hanna, along with JC, to drink some beer and decide on next year's 45th Class reunion (which we did).
But this afternoon we had a chance for an unexpected treat - we were invited to check out Daryl Shaar's 49 Chevy Fleetline custom car.
What a beaut - more than I can adequately describe, so hopefully the photos here will tell enough of the story.
Named the SCARLET HARLOT, this crimson beauty is on her way to Long Beach for the annual custom car show there. Now, here's the kicker - Daryl and his wife Jan, DROVE this machine from Carson City Nevada!
And on another note... my Dear Friend from Chicago, Emilie Barry sent me a heads-up e-mail reminding me that today was not only the "end of Summer" but the Autumnal Equinox as well, and the interesting side note that the Moon (which would rise opposite the setting sun today) was at it's closest to the earth in 26 years... well, had to catch that, and as you can see - I did.
