"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Ever hear of Graham-Paige Motors?
I confess, I hadn't either, but I'm glad I stumbled across this link at Cold Fury.
Dang! That thing looks an awful lot like the old 1948 Nash I used to drive in high school, except my Nash had a shorter, flatter front end. I cried when my dad sold it back in 1965. I bet he'd cry if he knew what one of those would be worth today.
Living in Los Angeles (the San Fernando Valley to be specific...not far from Universal and Warner Brothers Studios) has just a few perks, collectible cars is one of them. Every Friday night there is a car show at the Bob's Big Boy Restaurant. The tiny parking lot is overflowing with beauties. The bikers bring out their rides too. We regularily see classics. They put the plethora of Jaguars and Beemers to shame. The only new car that is remotely interesting is the new Bentley.
KC, that certain beloved PI would look good in that Graham.

ReplyDeletePaco: Matt, over at Conservative Hideout, has posted some more G-P cars and others.

ReplyDeleteLooks like a car a certain Pee Eye should own, doesn't it?
