We were driving through one of our small towns some time ago and spotted this car several times. Finally, we came up behind it at a traffic light. I know nothing of its make, but I thought it was a very cool car. Anyone out there an expert? Like us they were in no hurry to get out of this pretty little town before exploring all the side roads. The quote made me smile.
"Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears."

Oh My, how slow those cars are compared to todays ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret, I am not sure how slow they are as we were driving around town and all the speed signs said 25 miles an hour, but no doubt you're right when they get on the roads where they can put pedal to the metal :)
DeleteI really like the look of old cars - though they are not as safe or as comfortable. Wonderful patience quote.
ReplyDeleteMe too and I suppose their safety would be an issue no doubt. Happy you liked the quote, thank you Sue :)
DeleteI just love the quote so much
ReplyDeleteThat's great, thank you Roentare :)
DeleteThat is a cool car. My husband was the car expert and could tell what things were. I know nothing about them but just appreciate their beauty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann, I've never quite seen anything like this before, and me too.
DeleteGood quote about patience Denise. The old car surely is in great shape. I do believe someone spends quite a bit of time ensuring its beauty.
ReplyDeleteHello Martha Ellen :) I think you are right!
DeleteCool looking car and a great quote!
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Thank you Eileen and you take care and have a great day also :)
Deletebob is an expert, knows all cars, he said this is hard to tell with just rear view but it is a customized job, chopped top and not stock. probably a 1932 chop top, but with out another view can't tell. he wishes you had other views.
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing Bob :) I wish I had more views but this was all I could get as they went straight on and we had to turn off.
DeleteIt's nice to see different cars and vintage vehicles always attract attention. Modern cars are rather bland.
ReplyDeleteI agree Janice, compared to these old classics, they have a lot more character :)
DeleteIt looks like a toy :-))
ReplyDeleteIt would fit very nice on a collector's shelf :)
DeleteOh do I love the quote...so many are in such a hurry now and add to that rude.
ReplyDeleteMy husband watches all the classic car show. This one has been restored expertly.
Even though 99% of the cars of its era were all black.
Hugs Cecilia
It's a great quote isn't it? I don't see too many old classics now that are black. Repainted? Thanks Cecilia, sending hugs!
Deletethat is a great quote...
ReplyDeleteThank you Rose, I thought so too :)
DeleteLove the quote! All I can say is...that car is an oldie! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the smile, yes it's an oldie, that's all I can say too :) Glad you enjoyed the quote Ellen.
DeleteThis car would stand out anywhere! The color is pretty, like metallic copper.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ginny, thank you :)
DeleteI do not know what it is, but would love to own it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty isn't it?
DeleteNo idea on this car. Good quote.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine :)
DeleteWhat a lovely sight and yes, that quote is wonderful too. Have a sweet evening!
ReplyDeleteThank you e :) I am happy you enjoyed and I wish you the same.
DeleteThe car looks good and I like the quote.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
So glad, thank you Jan and all the best to you too :)
DeleteLindo carro. Dulce frase. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I send you a kiss :)
DeleteShe does a car transition from worthless junk to valuable antique?
ReplyDeleteApparently so David :)
DeleteI’ve never seen anything like it, so I agree with “Bob“ that it is a custom car.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, I also agree with Bob :)
DeleteLove the quote.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting looking antique car. I wonder if that's a rumble seat in the back?
So glad Sandra :) It could very well be :)
