Both Friday and Saturday allowed some free time for backroads wandering. These two days resulted in some wonderful memories and good fodder to share here. I wanted to start with this series of images.
This car was parked outside an establishment near Athens and I couldn’t resist whipping in for some pictures!
Check out the rocket lights!
And of course the fuzzy dice and hula girl!
Imagine road tripping in this beast! Remember what I said last month about red things? There was a similar car in the same parking lot but it was a different, sort of gold color. I didn’t even give it a second look but this flashy red left me practically drooling!
Who knows what kind of car this is?
Oh, yeah, gotta have the hula girl. Lol
Nice touch!
It’s a 1960 Plymouth. Here’s one in a higher trim level: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hemmings.com/stories/article/transitional-phase-1960-plymouth-fury/amp
I knew one of my car guys would know! I love how detailed this story is, even talking about the mirrors. Thank you!
Wait – whoops! It’s a 1961.
Lol. Close enough! How can you tell the difference?
The 61 had those pronounced “eyebrows” over the headlights and the 60 didn’t. Also, the 60 had a more dramatic character line on the front fender.
Fascinating! Thank you!
Nice find!
I was so excited!
