A Beautiful Old Lady.

A Beautiful Old Lady.

"A beautiful lady is an accident of nature. A beautiful old lady is a work of art." Louis Nizer.

Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder and many classic car lovers will agree with me that this well worn, Ford truck is worth a second look. She made a memorable feature in the foreground of ancient Moreton Bay Fig trees situated on the grounds at Old Petrie Town in Q'ld, Australia.

In fact, I think she added class and dignity to this landscape as she enjoyed the warmth of the suns rays on her tanned body. Welcome shadows, (courtesy of those majestic trees) toned down the blush to her cheeks as she overheard words of praise and awe directed towards her from many admirers.

'Dance.' What an appropriate name for this Grande Olde Dame!

I hope she had moments to reflect on the days of her youth, in between listening to comments; worthy of her beauty. I hope she remembered dancing on dirt roads; kicking up clouds of dust as her passengers choked with laughter and adventure. I hope she is enjoying taking it easy in the eventide of her years and I hope her spirit dances long after rust ruins her once, flawless complexion.

My Daddy was a master mechanic and master welder, he had his own

To this business, then until I was 11, my life was closely entwined with
It. The junkyard was my playground, I found hood ornaments and car
Parts for my playthings to fit my rather forward thinking imagination
(Space ships and flying saucers etc). Daddy would put together car
front halves with truck back ends to make things that Ford and GMC
Later duplicated in the "El Camino and the GMC Sprint(that was short

To restoring old autos, he even had and restored a "Model A" one of the oldest.
Sorry for the history lesson, yes, I did enjoy seeing the "Beautiful Old Lady"

Beautiful indeed.

Very nice. Do you suppose it still runs? It would be a lot of fun to take for a ride!

Oh yes, they can still drive it as I notice the number plate is current, and they would have driven it to the event.
