I know I have posted these photos sometime in the past, but that post has long been deleted along with the blog I removed. I relish these photos, so I am posting them again.
I remember this day well. A friend of my father’s let him use this car for a while. You probably already know how much I love most items of 1940s and 1950s. I certainly could not pass up an opportunity to take photos of this car. It just happened that my darling younger sister was visiting my house. She was the perfect model…always had that 1940s wholesome look about her. Her style was crisp and clean.
Of course, Digital cameras were not around then; these photos were scanned, thus the graininess you see here.
When my husband showed this photo of my beautiful sister at his work place, several of the guys there just had to meet her. Can you blame them? To any fellow looking at this photo, it appears that she is smiling directly at him.
That is my first child in the car with her aunt. My daughter has already graduated from college…no longer a little girl. Alas, how I miss those days! She was always such a nice little child. However, now I have a grown-up loving friend.
Here (above) my younger brother is posing inside the car for me.
This one has two of my brothers posing for a shot in front of my husband’s and my first home.
UPDATE: ~ Lottie asked me what kind of car this is. Using my photos as a guide, I searched the internet classic cars of the 1940. I was pretty sure this was from 1947-1948. I believe that I found my car. It is a 1948 Chrysler New Yorker (If you love old cars, as I do, you should click on this link and see the spectacular Chrysler New Yorker).~~~♥~~~

OH, I LOVE this car! My husband and I once had a 1930s car to restore (we never did - we sold it 'as it was'), but I've always preferred the more 'rounded' lines of the 40s and early 50s cars. This is pretty much ideal, to me. The photos are great!
ReplyDeleteHello dear Nancy,
ReplyDeleteIt must have been very exciting to own the 1930s car even if you were never able to restore it. Oh yes, I do believe that the 40s and 50s had the best cars. It is always enjoyable to chat with people who get excited about the things we love.
Thank you for visiting!
:) Hope
