At the recommendation of FRENCH ESSENCE, we viewed "Le Grand Bleu", starring Jean Reno (Frenchman as Italian)--I fell totally in love with this darling little, perfectly rusty, vintage Fiat 500 . . . look at the trailer!!
Okay, so not totally functional for those of us hauling treasured junk across the countryside. This 1957 promo-photo presents the little Fiat in a totally different light. Somehow, the juxtaposition of the promo versus the rusty, crusty one embraces the whole vintage passion movement . . . the appreciation of the old, the broken-down-but-still-standing thing. (Kinda like me!)
This photo is a riot . . . reminds me of the ever-present challenge of fitting everything into limited spaces in preparation for the caravans to antique shows!!
Ah, yes, I wanna be a Ferrari when I grow up . . . .!!

Debi--we will miss you at Stars, but I totally get it--we can only do so much. Really fun to see you at Expo but you are always too busy with customers to talk......
love the little rusty car also......
