From yesterday's (July04) car show in the United parking lot.
I really liked this car; it wasn't trailered in, but driven and was very clean.
I never wanted a Caddy. One of these would do just fine.
I really enjoy looking at the specific details of a car, especially on these older ones.
The outside of the car looks as stylish as anything built today, but the interior is definitely '50's tech. It too was neat and clean, just dated.
It caught my eye right off the bat, and I had trouble getting photos as it was one of the most popular vehicles in the small show.
The owner said there wasn't any particular story behind it; he saw it and bought it because his wife liked it. He said he had been offered 40k for it, and I don't blame him for turning it down.

Rocket Man
I sure wish I had interviewed this man; he had this cool old '57 Olds Rocket. There were simply too many cars and too many stories to get in the short time I spent at the auto show weekend before last.
I believe he had gone on his honeymoon in a car just like this one, but I was busy getting the other honeymoon car story.
It was a sharp old car, though.
The interior was in great shape, too.
Cool looking dashboard
As I said, I wish I had talked to the owner more; I should have at least written down the vital statistics, such as the size of the engine.
Love the old whitewall tires
