Wagons in vintage Street scenes

Since most are made in Asia, they probably got the Battle Ship gray from WWII or Korea?

It's a sad site on today's streets. No use of colour to accent body styling. I call it the bubble-gum trend. They're all rounded off like some cartoon car from the silent car-toons era.

 

I just picked up the Clint Eastwood flicks on DVD with Honkytonk Man, Every Which way but loose and Any which way you can. Barflies!!!! Casts of 1,000's

 

Yup....wind tunnel designed. No wonder they all look the same. And, hey Norm....there IS no body styling to accent! When I was a kid it was FUN to watch cars go by....now days you can't tell one from another and they are all ugly. And small.

 

Did you ever get a chance to go to Bellingham, WA? They had a pizza place there, called "Pipes and Pizza". A great big arena with a monster Pipe organ and a grand piano (the piano player could run the Organ pneumatically or the Organ player could run the piano remotely, and all the other instruments and puppets up on the walls. Anyway, the big deal was showtime, when they'd run the old silent car-toon movies playing the music for the movie. At least those cars had some 'life and colour' to them.

Just so our American friends know, most Quebeckers are bilingual, so if you send them an email for something you see, you'll probably get an answer in English.
