Picking up your best girl in Dad`s ride

The '59 never looked better! Spring. Top-down-Caddie-ride. Reggae music flowing from the dashboard. Life's GUUD!

Good memories for me - I took my driver's license test in Mom's brand new 1960 Cadillac convertible in Florida in 1960 at 13 years of age on a special work dispensation that no longer exists. Then at 15 I bought my first car - 1931 Model A. Worked on it, got it running with a 1952 motor, sold it and bought my first real transportation-to-high-school-vehicle, a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. Oh, I was stylin'!

Nothing like a great flashy car to get that favourite girl into a date. Worked well for me back in the day.

Yeah I know what you mean David. My choices were a very clapped out, hand-me-down '57 Pontiac wagon or my Dad's 67 GMC pickup..Lol. Fortunately my girlfriend didn't mind...bless her heart.

recall,if you will,the casting of Tom Hanks as "Jack Cant Reacher"....HOLLYWEIRD !!!
...I re- watched A Walk in the Woods last night.....Robert Redford, at age 79, portrayed the then 63 year old Bill Bryson.....also of note : Nick Nolte played Nick Nolte in the same movie 🤨

LOL, I'm thinking that if my Dad would have had a '59 Cadillac with those fins to the moon, I'd have had no trouble picking up every pretty little thing in town.
