Very neat! Although if I'm getting fins, give me a '59.


Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

Simply gorgeous, but I can't imagine trying to drive that beast through Chicago.

Being from Los Angeles, San Francisco/Oakland, Atlanta I find Chicago to be not that tough. Lots of road alternatives. But they NEVER stop honking their horns. Sup Wit That?!! I'm at a light and a guy is honking at me. I yell to him, "What do you want?!" He said, "Oh, Sorry, it's just habit."

Chicago. Stop honking. And let people get on the freeway onramps! Let 'em enter the highway!

That's one of my cameras that got stolen. It also once got dunked in the Pacific Ocean. it wasn't my best camera, but it was always in my backpack. so I guess it was. I have a D7200 serving the same function. I know those cameras. I can operate them without looking at them mostly.

I wonder how much metal was used to build that car vs a typical car today.

I noticed the same thing. I thought it was me until I realized that's just what drivers do in Chicago.

They didn't call them land yachts for no reason.
Nice shots. Bet that thing gets really good gas mileage and runs great on unleaded, not.

I'm not very familiar with caddies of that era, but those lines would be hard to beat.
