take me back

i got new glasses. always love getting a new pair of glasses. each year, you realize your eyes are going a little bit at a time. anyway, shiny, shiny new glasses, and the world is a little clearer today. spent the last year hating my frames; i don't hate these new frames yet...maybe i won't. 

i've seen this one a few times over the years. posted it a couple times too...here and here.

it's a beautiful car, and you don't see them very often, unless, of course, you go to a lot of car shows.

there were a lot of photographers gathered around it, probably all day. while i was there, there was at least one guy that follows me, and i follow on instagram. wasn't quite sure it was him at the time...wasn't until later the next day, that he wrote that i didn't say much to him. sorry about that, i never met you in person before, and i'm a social moron.

huppity do-dah

my schedule has been so insane lately. i'm just tired. so its a good thing they are making me take time off at work next week, right? really only because i've got too many hours saved up and its the end of the year. short notice, and my better half has to work, so what the h am i going to do for a week? 

i guess i can get around to doing some backups and doing some end of the year copyright filing. anything but go to the mall, if i can help it. maybe i'll drive up to the bob's big boy show in burbank next friday. probably just a bunch of rich white guy cars.

i have several pics ready to post; just haven't been home to post them. so, finally, here's one from the whittier uptown show. don't see these hupmobiles very often. if i look through my files, i probably just keeping the same one in different places.

they're different looking. and there's that fragile looking hood ornament.

hooters

pretty sure i've seen this one before. just been a year or two.

interesting car, kinda like a wanna be rolls royce shape. i could have posted the typical full car, but there was just something more special about the front grille and the lights.

it has eyes. couple more round shapes (two are the horns), i'd call it a spider.

and of course, i like the ornament.
