"Smitty"

Mom's pushing eighty-seven now, but she was quite the looker back in the day. Good taste in automobiles too.

Shopping is for the 'Birds

Okay, I know... I've stated here previously that I draw the line on what I consider a true classic at around 1971 or 72. Forgive me for the following post. I rolled out of the local Publix supermarket this afternoon and parked among a sea of yawn-inducing sheet metal was this time traveller from the mid-seventies... in mint condition at that. This 'Bird had lost 10 inches in length and a good 900 lbs. in curb weight from the previous generation Thunderbird, along with it's 460 cubic inch V-8 (the largest ever installed in a production vehicle by Ford). Still, with it's federally mandated bumpers, white landau top and blue paint, it was the sharpest grocery getter in the lot.

Sully's Deuce and a Half

Nestled between blocks of multimillion dollar beach and marshfront homes on Sullivan's Island, sits an overgrown lot with this rusting relic. An M35A, compliments of US Navy surplus by the looks of it.
