Week’s Work
Over the past couple of weeks a took a couple hundred photos, but didn’t have much time to work with them, post-processing and so on. Next week proves to just as busy, I can’t seem to breath Monday thru Friday. Living for the weekends here! I’m in one of those situations where I can’t relax. I have a pile of books I want to read, but I can’t relax enough to read even five pages. I have three high-profile projects, and I have to keep my wits about me. I wish I could retire, but that’s just not in the cards right now.
Love Green
Saw a clutch of Model A’s corralled at a local buffet joint today. Took the opportunity to snap a few photos. I have a thing for green. I love green ties, but its difficult to get them to work correctly with average trad duds. I don’t like olive green, but I do love lime green, and Kelly green. Anyway, as you can see I got the green in this spare tire. Oh, I guess you can see my freekin’ bald head in this one too. Maybe I should paint it green!
Frank Sinatra’s 1955 Ford Thunderbird
This was one of the special cars at The Villages Cruise In this past weekend. Hope you enjoy the photos.
This car was owned by Capitol Records Company and bought specifically for Frank Sinatra on September 29, 1955 (I believe it is a 1955 model year Thunderbird). Shipped to the Fountainebleau Hotel ( Fountain Blue Hilton Resort Miami ), Miami Beach, FL October 3, 1955.
Used as a courtesy car for recording artist and movie stars, etc. it was sold in 1963 to Cecil Ford, of Miami Beach, FL
