Out and About

Random cars seen recently:

This one kills me every time I see it. Spied near Numidia, PA.

Camaros were my first muscle-car love, and I've never gotten over it.

Somewhere west of here en route to elk country.

For this one, hubby sat at the stop sign while I jumped out for the pic and to eyeball the interior. I'm a sucker for the brocade seats from the 70s, and this one had very nice gold-embroidered upholstery. 1972, 28k original, no price listed... seen in Lock Haven at (as I recall) Bob McCormick Ford.


As usual, if any of these vehicles are yours, feel free to drop me a line so I can properly credit you as the owner (or remove the photo, if you prefer).

In other car news...

  • Y'all remember my dad's big blue '73 Electra? It's sitting out back, our foster child for the time being. Dad's been attempting to convince us that we really need another ginormous Buick... we don't... so if anyone out there wishes to purchase one, it's for sale. Cheap!
  • I couldn't be more pleased with the Impala we bought at Bill Crawford Motors in Bloomsburg. I normally hate shilling for a dealership by keeping their advertising tag and whatnot on a car after buying it, but in this case it's warranted. After all the hassles we encountered at larger dealerships, including high-pressure sales tactics, haggling, and in one case, outright lies, it was nice to encounter none of that from Mr. Crawford. Just like our experience buying our Bronco elsewhere, the whole transaction was smooth and the car is top-notch. FYI: he often has restored classics in the showroom for sale, and I'm sure I've posted pics from his lot here before.
  • 'Tis the season for static electricity! I have to remember NOT to buy fuzzy seat covers. I've gotten zapped every time I get out of the car... hubby, bless his heart, always waits for me to get out first, then laughs at me when the sparks fly and I jump. I'm going to take a cling-free dryer sheet down and rub it on the seats and see if it helps. Any other ideas?
