This was parked out in front of a restaurant we had breakfast at before the Outlaw show at Rolling Wheels.

NAME THIS CAR
OK, this is where I embarrass myself. Being a racing fan, and I do not know what kind of car this is. I'm guessing early 60's, and judging from the emblem on the front hood, I want to say a GM product, like a Buick or Chevrolet, but it might just be a Chrysler product for all I know. Get into the 70's, and I can tell cars apart. Or late 60's, even. I remember Carl's old Ford Farlane that he had, and I can tell an old Chevy Nova, because alot of Novas were used as stock cars. Or the old Dodge Chargers. of course. Those were the days when you could tell cars apart, because the makes all looked decidedly different. Now it seems all cars look the same.

Busy day Wednesday. I have three different classes coming to visit the museum. Then work, then a Fairfax History Book meeting.

I was thinking '59 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.

But, Eldorado sounds good too.

Nice car photo either way !
Thanks, Mike.
