Wordless Wednesday - Tank Tops

Tank Tops 

Ruby Tuesday Too - Caddy Shack

Take the two couches in your living room and arrange them in tandem.  Wrap them in three tons of sheet metal and place them on four wheels with tires.  Add one huge engine and transmission and you have the ultimate road car...a 1959 Cadillac.  This car was nearly 19 feet long, but it was like cruising down the interstate in your living room.

Of course, if you ever tried to pile your friends in the trunk of a car and sneak into the drive-in movies, this is the trunk you want to use.  You could put half of your senior class in this thing.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - Bikes, Blues, & BBQ

Okay, I'm going to have to stretch the boundaries a bit and you're going to have to think outside the box in order to make these photos work with the prompts.  I'm trying to tie it all to one event.  Every September 10's of thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on Northwest Arkansas for an event called Bikes, Blues, & BBQ.  I love getting out and snapping a few images of some of the rides.  This year I did not photograph many of bikes.  My schedule just wouldn't allow it.  Yes, I'm retired, but I do have an agenda from time to time.  This year they held their 3rd annual car show in conjunction with all of the other activities.  I decided to forgo most of the two wheel festivities and headed to the auto art.  Anyway, here goes.

 Key

Hey!  Somebody left the key in the ignition.  Anyone up for a joy ride?  This was one sweet little '32 Ford roadster.

 Triangle

I hereby declare that this air cleaner is a soft triangle.  Yes, it has round corners, but it still has three sides and that is my reason for declaring this to be a triangle.

   Favorite Word - "Shiny"

 Whether the rolling art is on two wheels or four, I think the operative word at these events is "Shiny".  With the exception of the "Rat Rod" category, most of these vehicles glisten.  On a bright, sunny day it is almost impossible to get a good photograph that has no glare.

 Celebration

 Bikes, Blues & BBQ is a celebration of rolling art for charity.  The event lasts four days and literally brings over 100,000 visitors to the area.  This 1941 Willys was my favorite car at the show.  As a child of the '60's, these cars were very popular street rods and dragsters of the day.  This little jewel is the epitome of that era.

 Best

I guess the sign says it all.  This ground up and probably frame-off restoration of a 1971 Pontiac GT 37 was best of show.  It was a beautiful car, but there were others that I would rather own.  Well, that's it for this week.  See ya next Sunday, maybe.  I do have an agenda, you know.

Skywatch Friday

Summer sunsets and warm temperatures are beginning to give way to the crisp cool air of Autumn.  In a few weeks, the colors of fall will be in full foliage and then the shivers of winter will be upon us.  I love fall, but I'm not the fan of winter that I once was.  There are days when I will get as stiff as the ice outside and that's not something that I enjoy.  Oh well, life goes on.  Hurry up Autumn, I need some more fall photos.  Have a blessed week-end.
