a trip back in time
Not to mention a lot
of fond memories

There even was a pink Caddy

Pink Cadillac
by Springstein
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street

Honey I just wonder what you do there in back

Pink Cadillac
An Edsel
My first car was a '57 Chevy station wagon
similar to this -
this is a nomad
mine had 4 doors instead of 2
and was primer grey
It was stolen and crashed
boy did I love that car
My parents had a Corvair
They would put down the back seat
when we went to drive-in
which was pretty cool
One of my boyfriends
had an Avanti
I thought it was such a cool car
A friend of mine had
one of these in blue
boy did we have some fun in that car
driving around the desert
I always wanted a Mustang
One last hood ornament

oh the pink caddie brings back a funny weekend....my dad had bought a caddy and yes was pink......with no reverse in it......but that didn't stop us from going to the beach for a weekend.....we went to a del beach where when you park you must pull in and back out to leave ok so you get where i am going here right?!?! yes all weekend dad and his friend had to push the caddy out of all spaces we parked in.....
ReplyDeleteWOW - such amazing cars. Hubby and Dad would love them.
ReplyDelete~heart~ the Pink Caddie. My first car was a Cadillac. We owned 3 of them at one time. Complete with a longhorn figurine on Mom's car to replace the lost hood ornament. LOL. It was the Cadillac Ranch :D
ReplyDeleteCan you identify the car underneath the Red Pickup? I once saw a solid white one parked in an alley, and it was so "League of Extrordinary Gentlemen" I wanted to know what it was, but no one knew.

It must have been a ball to walk around looking at these old cars. Oh the stories that those cars could probably tell!
ReplyDeleteCool...the hood ornaments are the best...and the red truck was hot... happy vtt...olive♥
ReplyDeleteOh dear... I see TWO vehicles I recognize. Not good!! lol My grandfather had a very similar truck and his was red too. I was probably about four years old. I loved riding in that truck.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend in high school had the pink Cadillac! Yep!! My grandfather even had one of those... but brand new. The boy friend's was probably close to being on its last leg.
Thanks for the memories.

Jo-What a great way to spend the 4th! My 15 yr old nephews have enjoyed this post just as much as I!!
ReplyDeleteI love those old muscle cars. I used to have a 350 Chevelle. My boyfriend had a Road Runner! Oh, those were the days!
ReplyDeleteI do love that Packard and the interior of that beautiful Edsel. Thanks for sharing your trip with us.
ReplyDeleteOh this is one of my favorite VTT posts ever! All those beautiful cars!
ReplyDeleteWe used to take the kids to the drive-in in Pennsylvania and one night they had a line up of vintage cars...its was terrific!
What a wonderful post. Brought back mememories. My dad had a turquoise ford fairlane the same color as the edsel. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love old car shows. I'm always amazed at the size of the interiors. You could live in some of them. And thr trunks are ridiculously huge. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can see you moving on to different boyfriends, but I would have tried to keep the Avanti in the deal. Many memories, not only of riding in these vehicles but in good times at car shows.
ReplyDeleteI love that 1942 Packard convertible and that cute little red truck!! You all must have had such a fun time at that vintage car show!! Thanks for sharing.
