ME AND MY COUPE DE VILLE RETIRE II

I’ve been enjoying driving the car on long drives around the Long Beach (Washington) Peninsula. That’s what I bought it for so long ago, and now that I’m retired I can take advantage of the sunny week-days and drive with little or no traffic here at sustained speeds and few stops. Lovely road car and lovely memories of riding in my grandmother’s ’49 on the exact same roads, past the same landmarks. I wish I could have shared photos of the interior of my car with Jim Jordan (see June ’10 Times) so that he could have restored his interior to its original look. I was fortunate to buy an untampered-with, one-owner car, which looks very much at home in its new garage (photo attached). Still looks timeless, modern, and elegant!
