Hey Friends, this will really take you back a few years. However, some of you may be too young.
WHAT MEMORIES. WHEN A CAR WAS A CAR
AND A TRAIN WAS A TRAIN.
For all you car & train lovers.

Above & below:At King Road inOwosso, Michigan ,Pere Marquette 1225, a 2-8-4 Berkshire , pours it on with a freight from history next to a Ford Model A pickup recreating a scene from the good old days.
Steaming down memory lane isPere Marquette 1225Owosso, Michigan
Southern 2-8-0 #610 at Rock Spring , Georgia
( Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum ..)
Heber City , Utah . Union Pacific 2-8-0 #618 and a 1953 Buick Super.This has to be the classic of classic photos!It defies time itself. When I saw this photo, I was transported back to those wonderful days when life was full of simple pleasures, back when we were satisfied with less and happy to walk instead of ride.This is February 6, 2007 when time and eternity intersect at this crossing. And to think that you and I, and others, once had a stage like this everyday for the greatest performance ever. Oh what the generation of today has missed. Great Memories!
CARS WE WILL NEVER SEE AGAIN
Harley Earl and the 1938 Buick.. Think about this. This picture was taken 70 years ago.
1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt
1951 Buick LeSabre What would you give for this car now
1951 Chrysler K310
1953 Buick Wildcat
1954 Dodge FireArrow
1958 Lincoln Premiere
1955 Nash Rambler Cross Country Wagon
1956 Ford Sunliner
1959 Chevrolet Brookwood Stationwagon
1951 Hudson Hornet
1959 Plymouth Fury
1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser - The rear window on the 58 Merc Turnpike Cruiser could retract into the body, giving the occupants flow-through ventilation. This car, like most of its generation, didn't have air-conditioning, even as an option.
1951 Studebaker Champion
1971 Buick Rivera Boattail
1958 Edsel Convertible
One would sit on the porch and name the cars as they drove by. . .
unlike today . ..
when they all look the same.
This is when a car was a car.....
