THE WOODIES

(Some of us can remember)--WOW (Some of us are not THAT old.)

 

The Woodies You May Never See Again.

Those were the days; when if you had an 

accident, you needed a good carpenter 

more than a mechanic.

 

Those were the days of motor vehicles, 

called automobiles, not cars!

 

Aren't they beautiful?

Back in the days when cars had style, and even

with so many makes and models, all changing every year, they made a profit.

And, not only that, you could sit on the porch and name the cars as they drove by. 

Unlike today, when they all look the same.

This was when a car was called an automobile ! !

Not before my time, not that I remember seeing all of them, but certainly remember them.

Beautiful wood working skills. Is the green British one a Riley by any chance?
