You don't have any bikes yet...have a couple of mine.

 

[BDBoop]

I put up a few, and will put up more. I get sort of ... overdosed? with all the many many pictures that fit in this thread, from Pinterest.

Nice bike - I don't like the blue though.

You're right...sorry.
It's late here.

Hey, no worries. I'm glad to see posts from anybody other than me in this thread. It's very early here, just before 7:00 a.m. My best friend is coming at 11:00 to take me on a mini road trip before we hit the James Hill mansion tour around 1:30. Good times!

I tried looking up car pinup girls. Every single one had tattoos. Is that a thing, now? I was hoping for more like this one. I actually had to add "1940s" to get what I was looking for.

I saw one of these at a local car show.
I thought it was one of the prettiest yank-tanks I'd laid eyes on.

I used to drive - I know not what. I called it the banana boat. I think it was a Chrysler? Big old thing, yellow of course. My sister drove past me once and started laughing hysterically. She swore I was looking THROUGH the steering wheel. Bitch.

Yours - like this? What color.

Finally made it to Barrett Jackson in Palm Beach a few weeks ago and had a great time.
It is more than an auction it is a huge car show. So many cars to look at. Really had a great time. If you get a chance definitely go to one

My 1972 Riviera was a dark blue with white leather interior. ..

When my dad was coming up, he always swore he was going to get rich and buy a caddy. Which he did, and then to top it off he bought a Lincoln. So both those cars have a place in my heart.

Cars now? For decades, even. Just a bunch of boxes on wheels. They stopped having any real personality around 1980, I believe.

My 1972 Riviera was a dark blue with white leather interior. ..

Couldn't find one at first glance. Sounds gorgeous, though.

The first caddy looked pretty much like this, only the back portion of the roof/sides was navy.

The first accident, he was taking us all on a drive in his new car, and he got sideswiped.

Several years later he and my mother were going out to dinner with another couple - and they were sideswiped by a semi. That was the end of THAT caddy.
