Being A Classic Car Lover Is So Hard

By
Real Estate Agent with Sailwinds Realty

Being a classic car lover is a very difficult job. Every car show I go to, I fall in love with a diffeent car.

At a recent car show at The Shops At Wiregrass in Wesley Chapel, I came across this beauty. It is very elegant and just looks like you should be wearing  your crown when you ride in it.

 

Being A Classic Car Lover Is Very Difficult

 

This is a Packard (I think it was a 1933). I poked my head inside the open driver's side window and almost had a heart attack. There was an older gentlemen in the back seat taking a rest from the crowd.  He and I chatted for a few minutes but I didn't ask any questions because he looked like he wanted to go back to sleep.

 

Okay, I admit it, I'm in love. Not with the old gentleman but with this graceful beauty. I want one.  I can just see me with my flowered hat (or crown) and white gloves doing the Queen's wave as I pass the crowds.

My mom is a classic car lover too!! When one rolls down the street her mouth just drools. I can't wait for the day when I can take her to a classic car show/auction and tell her to pick one!

Good thing that you don't try and buy every one of them that you like, that could get really expensive, haha.  I really like the look of that car!!!

Toni: The thing that always fascinates me about them is I wonder what the history behind them is. If only they could talk. LOL

Ah, Toni,

Definitely a thing of beauty!  When we were last at a car show in Florida, we saw an old  Rolls Convertible.  In the backseat was a lady with a tiara and long gloves and a black evening gown, and she was doing the queen's wave.  A

They will never make a car like that one again and it's unfortunate. This car is classy and elegant. I hope you get to ride in one someday and wear some jewels too! That must have been quite a shock to find the old guy in the back seat of the car. I'm glad you're alright!

Hi Toni, I love that you have such an appreciation for these autos that represent our history. Here is one that I found in Reno that I thought you might also like.

My family owned Packards in the1950's.

That is a beauty and it reminds me of how heavy the old cars were and how light and molded out of plastic our new models have come to be.

Hi Toni,  Those cars were built solid back then and had the chrome to show off its beauty.  They just don't make them like that anymore.
