My FAVORITE 1:24 of the DAY! January 22, 2021

Brrrrr!!!  Woke up to chilly 4 degrees with clear skies this morning.  The weather report is reporting 3 to 5 inches of snow on the way tomorrow.  Little bit of a rough night, so decided no coffee this morning, but instead some Green Tea. 

After heating the water, pouring it in my cup, I ventured to my Car Room for my few moments of silence and reflection on the day.  Light flipped on and the Green Tea must have been a subliminal message, because the first car my eyes bounced on was my DM GREEN '55 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 CONVERTILBE.  

And whoa, I must still be a little blurry eyed, because I was seeing double and imagining double too!  There sat my Green Dream Car with both Top Up and Top Down.  I have to be honest and admit that since I first got this model it has been one of my favorites.  It was a diversion from the previous Red & White issue and the Two-Tone Green just seems so warm, especially on this cold morning.  And oh yea, it would be a Top Up day.  

Some REAL '55 OLDSMOBILE SUPER 88 CONVERTIBLE Facts...

Brand new it sold for $2,894 weighing in at a hefty 3,989 pounds.  For model year 1955, Oldsmobile offered the same three series with an appealing facelift on a one year old body.  All models displayed the browed headlights and the name O L D S M O B I L E scrolled in block letters on the middle grille bar.  For the model year run it was Oldsmobile's best with 583,179 cars produced.
