A return to the Whippet...

GDH · 2026-05-23T20:13:40Z

A month or two ago I posted a couple of photos taken by a dear friend and photographer, and today I received additional photos related to the Whippet, and a backstory for the photo of the pup whizzing on the tire of the car (first photo below). It turns out the owner of the Whippet likes to tweak folks a bit, when this car and his Model T are on display, and the pup is actually a ceramic pup which he positions in that manner for a laugh. I do like his sense of humor. He also posts signs inviting people to sit in his vintage cars, something these two lads took to heart (following photos). They remind me of my experiences with vintage cars at the same age, though I wasn't nearly as photogenic as these two munchkins. (Original photography by Hugh Holland)
