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. 

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.

It's the Fourth of July.  It's time to enjoy some socially-distant, safe holiday fun.  We visited a friend the other evening (yes with masks and socially distant).  I didn't worry too much about staying away from this old Monte Carlo.  By the mid 90's when this Monte wore the Z34 markings to denote the 3.4l V6 under the hood, the cars were just a FWD shadow of the past.  This one is very clean inside and out with a perfect leather interior.

I liked the early ones from 70-72.  By the late 70's they were big and garish in my eyes.  This old timer is a survivor.  Happy 4th.  May you all stay safe and healthy.  The blog title today came from an old series of Chevy ads like the one below.
