    Whoa does this sparkle… And you’ve captured the muscular sparkle of this grand design. Pity that General Motors forgot how to do this kind of statement, huh? Back then they had so much ambition, self confidence, swagger. Hope they can recall it again Lois. Hope… hope… hope….

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Good heavens!!!!!! how did I skip over your fabulous comment??? I need to get my head and / or my fingers examined, lol!!!!! Thank you!!!! And yes I completely agree … if Detroit started putting babies like this back on the assembly line … well … from my humble point of view … they’d have us lining up around the block to buy them again!!!!!
