Anyone know what kind of car that is?

    I love old photos of people posing in front of their cars. I just don't see that anymore. The next time I have a car, I'm so dressing up and getting my picture made in front of it.

    Emily, you're on to something. I really love this idea, and it's not just because I've been watching buckets of "Top Gear" lately. Readers of FB, if you are up for it, post your car pose pics in this thread.

    Looks to be a 1963 Ford Galaxie convertible.

    Ok, if anyone does post a car pic, I'll happily reward them with one of the old four-leaf clovers I've found.

    I suppose it could go without being said, but that's just not who I am...I love that a vanity car photo, celebrating all that is good about capitalism, was tucked inside this book!

    Here's a photo of my husband and 2 of my kids posed next to someone else's cool car!

    I never really thought about it Emily, but you're SO right! We have SO many old pictures of either my parents or my aunts and uncle's in front of and/or next to their cars! NONE are recent! As in the 80's or above! :)
