Thinking about old Rivieras...again.


The seller is asking 5,000 dollars.
Located in Bakersfield California.


A design analysis.

Why would I want to buy a car that I've already owned? Actually the count so far is up to four; two 1966s,  a 1967, and finally,  a 1971.

 Space, the final frontier.  Part One.

I was thinking about Space when I was a kid in grade school, but not in the same way.

Capt. Jean Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) has a Jaguar XJS convertible exactly like mine! I highly doubt that he is as constantly concerned with space as I am. 

I'm talking about the space that are cars  occupy. The real estate.

As well as the unreal estate.

Space is a limited resource like money, time, and energy.

Compromises.


My XJS seen in it's natural habitat.


I've been getting out of town a bit since the pandemic has stabilized, at least in my part of the State. But we are still very careful.

Present Day Custom Cars. Are they possible?


These designs are iconic. I've got this early automotive
themed rock boxed CD set.


I was reading Pat Ganahl's blog about modern customs. He used a 1962 Pontiac as an example. Modern? That car is 60 years old. Modern geriatric customs?
