1963 Impala

I stopped at a hardware store on my way home from work and noticed this old beauty in the parking lot.  It was interesting to me because I knew someone who brought a clean '63 back from Tennessee after spending the summer working in landscaping.  They were both hoping to bring back old cars.  Only one did.  He lost interest in the vehicle.  Years ago his parents moved so the '63 probably left the garage and moved to a new home then.  It's a small world of remaining 63 Impalas still on the road.  So maybe this one in the correct color with a small block 8 was the same car.  Either way, it was a pleasure to see. 

Orange Festiva

 I had stopped for shopping and spotted an orange Fiesta in the rain covered parking lot.  In a world filled with white-to-black shades, the metallic orange stood out as a pleasant contrast.  The Fiesta was an nice looking sub-compact made at the wrong time.  It deserved a better fate in sales.

57 Chevy

 57 Chevies must be among the most recognizable iconic cars.  They are not seen much these days as grocery getters, but this beauty was sitting in the parking lot of a local grocery store.  I was impressed that the other shoppers gave it empty neighboring spaces in the nearly full parking lot.
