A photo a day, keeps the grumpiness away.

1953 Chevy Convertible
"Another way to solve the traffic problems of this country is to pass a law that only paid-for cars be allowed to use the highways." ~Will Rogers
Rest assured that most of the classic car owners have paid for their cars many times over, but for the love of these old beauties, we keep them running, keep them polished and love them even as we write the check for one more part or piece to make sure they survive for as long as possible.
This wonderful Aqua Blue 1953 Chevrolet Convertible was out at a recent car show in Corsicana, Texas. It was a real beauty and had many people around admiring it's sleek lines and beautiful color and shape. I didn't get the chance to ask the owner if this paint color was a factory original color to the car, but I believe that it was. Oftentimes people change the colors of the cars, and I am OK with that - but for me, I like to keep it factory original and thus my 1969 Mach 1 and Bill's 1966 Fairlane wear the same colors they had when they rolled out of the factory.
This was our first car show of the season (yes, we're behind this year - too many other competing 'events' for us to attend) and I'm please to tell you that both Bill and I took home trophies in the top 20 cars out of 130 that were there. So that was cool.
