Is this great or what??! We hinted at our recent photo shoot a while ago, and now we're happy to share it with you all. Meet this beautiful 1959 convertible! When Paps told us that one of his (therefore, our) good friends owned this lovely, we KNEW a photo-taking-extravaganza was in order. It was bought brand spankin' new in '59, and the color is original (it was called 'geranium'). Isn't it beautiful? All of us are complete vintage-car nuts -- and convertibles make the problem even worse. Are we the only ones? We must come by it honestly... our Paps is a whiz at spotting and naming off any (and we mean ANY) car name, model, colors it came in, and the year it came out. Reminds us of hearing about when Mom was a girl-- Paps would re-do cars and sometimes Nan would come over and do some neat-o pinstriping on the side. Now that's talent!
Enjoy! xx the Long ladies
Oh. My. Be still, my beating heart. That is one beautiful car.
