The True Beauties ...Oh I'm not talking about women here

Hello my free birds. In a past post (10 things that make me happy), I mentioned my love for my 63 Ford Fairlane. Her name is Lucy.She needs some love , or shall I say some more love because she gets plenty already. However my love goes broader , for all classic cars not just my Lucy. Recently there was a classic car show here in downtown Miami. It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, so I took myself and my camera and went to check out all THE BEAUTIES. I thought I would share some of them with you. Let me tell you mama had a BIG smile on her face the entire time.

Studebaker...this was one of my favorites.The owner thought I was stalking him because I kept coming back to see it.                                                   

This is what mama ultimately wants....the Thunderbird 

                  

Chevy Bel Air...What Curves

                                                

So this Beauty is a Fairlane just like my Lucy, but made 8 years earlier.

Look at those Wings !!

                                                

This Lebaron was so AMAZING ..I was truly blown away. A true beauty.

           However I could never drive it. Imagine parallel parking.

1963 VW Shorty Bus. Owner chopped it and took out the middle door.

This was a treat to see.

  My first love was a 65 VW bug. I drove it all through college.

                 I loved the way it sounded. So much so that I could hear one coming from blocks away.

        These always make me smile and brings back memories.

                      

VW Split Window

                                                                                                                                        

And last.. but surely not least , A sweet 1962 Corvair

The CHAIR Factor

    On the previous post { 10 things that make me happy } , I mentioned one thing as CHAIRS . I also said I would explain in a later post so I will keep my word . CHAIRS not only make me happy , they are a slight obsession for me. Like a girl that loves shoes or handbags , I love CHAIRS. When I see one I love , my heart beats faster , my eyes get bigger , my mouth drops , and my mind starts thinking  "do I have room for it" ? then I answer myself  " I will make room for it ". I truly wish my house was bigger so I simply can have  room for morevCHAIRS.
     I cannot tell you any specific style of chair I love , I just know when I see it. It usually has a beautiful  unique shape, color or fabric pattern. Also I do not tend to refurbish or re upholster chairs . If I fall in love, I take them with all there flaws (even the ones I pull over and find on the side of the road ) . So there , a little bit on my love of CHAIRS. I will share some I found that make my heart smile.

10 THINGS I LOVE

1. LO-MI-LU -my 3 little beautiful girls
2. CHAIRS - more details on that in a later post
3. GIRLS NIGHT ON MY PORCH - or anywhere for that matter

9. LA FAMILIA - you can't live with them and you can't live without them , but OH MY where would I be if it wasn't for them
10. THE OCEAN - what is it about it's never ending beauty that you can just look at it and find answers to your questions, clarity on your thoughts and inner peace for that moment

So there you are - 10 things that make me happy, but there's ALOT more . I'll post some of my other loves next week.  goodnite for now
