VARROOM!!

A Vintage Classic peeking out of the garage...
pull that beauty out...
details that can't be matched...
red, red, and more red...
dad's '58 Chevy Impala...
ready for a cruise...
chrome to the nines...
oh baby...
off with a varroom!
My Dad loves old cars. In his retired years he has finally given into one of his passions...
...owning a classic car!

He and my mom enjoy taking his car to local car shows during the summer.

He takes very good care of this red beauty and sure knows how to make it shine!

  1. Oh yeah, dad's got a new toy! Bet he's counting the days until the next classic car show. Those kids are gonna remember cruisin' in papa's red car for sure! Makes me think about the Beach Boys and drive-in movies, ahhh the good old days...

  2. That one would surely make me do a double-take if I passed it on the street. And I'm not even an old car fan. Gorgeous photos.

  3. Hello! Love your Dad's car. I'm from Michigan and with the auto industry we really like our cars. Just was at a little car show in Grand Haven and I am looking forward to one in Rochester. There is a car that I kind of stalk each year. '69 Camaro Rally Sport! Have your parents been to the Woodward Dream Cruise? It is a lot of fun!

  7. Great pics! I'm glad your dad has given in...my dad did the same thing recently. He retired and bought a classic car (1970's Chevelle SS). he does the car shows, too. You're right, it's good for them.

  12. Your dad's red Chevy Impala is a rare car...
    My husband has had over 100 vehicles from the time he was 17...and in all the car shows we have been to, I have never seen such an exceptional car as your Dad's. He is one lucky man!
    I am in California so my hubby and I go to lots of car shows here.
    Your Eliana is precious beyond words! What a treasure she is! And what a beautiful name!
    Cheers!
