Old Stars and Their New Cars.

Wow! This is great!  What spectacular photos of an elegant time gone by....never to be duplicated again by today's "jelly-bean" cars and our virtual reality actors and actresses.

Thanks for sharing the great old photographs.  Have a wonderful week.

You asked me if Dolores is as good as me as a photographer.  Just between us, she is far better!

Hey Roy,

Looks like you have some "Splainin' " to do. Now I know why you have been married so long. LOL

Who's shots are they? I mean really. Now I'm going to wonder about  the shots each time I see them.

Not really, I think they are very good no matter who shoots them. Thanks for the comment and reply.

Best, Clint Mckie

Gorgeous photos of these chrome beasts!  Lots of style and probably lots of heavy metal protection - who would need air bags?!  Have a good Sunday Clint.

Hi James ,

Me too. Did you notice Dino's right front tire? It still has the sticker on it from the dealership.

Have a great day my friend.

Hello Michael,

Going back to a simpler time seems like the thing to do. But after the visit we need to come back to reality.

Sad but true. Have a great day in Tennessee.

Clint - I adored these pictures - both of the cars and the stars!  The stars of today do not have the elegant star quality of these past icons.  Thanks for sharing these.
