Last Sunday, there was an auto show in the next town of Bee Cave. It is called the Rolling Sculpture Car Show. The show benefitted the Bee Cave Library, and there were over 120 cars on display. There were antique, custom, restored, and new vehicles. Of course, I can’t post 120 pictures, so here is a representative sample. Also, you must know that was born and raised in Detroit so anything auto is my cup of tea,
A 1958 MGB 1500.
A 1966 Mustang
From left a 1968 Chevrolet Impala, a 1966 Thunderbird, and a 1949 Customized Mercury
1967 Pontiac GTO
1960 Corvette
1953 MG T
1957 Ford Thunderbird
1957 Volkswagen Beetle.
1940 Dodge Convertible
1931 Ford Roadster
1951 Mark V Jaguar
On the left a 1932 Cadillac Roadster. On the right a 1930 Cadillac Towne Car.
1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Something I have never seen before. 1976 Cadillac station wagon
1951 Willy Overland Wagon
A passenger in the Willys since 1951
1946 Ford pick-up in original condition
1932 Ford customized Roadster
1957 Hudson Hornet
1934 customized Ford Roadster.
I hope you enjoyed the walk around today.

I smiled at that hook ’em horns orange mustang. If anyone was unsure, the license plate would confirm the owner’s sympathies. As for that VW Beetle? It’s a little unnerving to see my first car in a car show, as though it’s old, or something!

The greatest love essay ever written about a car was Farewell, My Lovely! by E. B. White. The New Yorker piece was dedicated to his Model T. As I read it for the first time, I kept thinking, ‘Somebody should do that for the VW.”

What a great article, Greg. I enjoyed it immensely. Reminded me of my 1949 Ford Club Coupe. It was my first and had a mind of it’s own. By the time we had to part I felt it was a brother from another mother.

I remember while in college one of my friend’s dad bought him a new Beetle. It was jet black and a 1960. We went everywhere in that car. Many good memories.

I don’t actually like cars, but do love classic cars and we have been to a few shows locally; the owners do an amazing job looking after them. I’m going to have the MG in racing car green which is the same age as me – disconcerting to be vintage!

Thanks, John. I’m weak at present so it will take a while but I have no choice. The doctors say “keep your feet above your heart when sleeping” and the physical therapists say “walk”. The problem is when I walk or am up and about for a short time my foot begins to swell again. I hope to find a happy medium. 🙂 — Suzanne
