One of these is not like the other. At the Yankee Air Museum air show last weekend.

Looks like we're 1A in the Army again, this time in the 1st Medical Battalion, 1st Division. We'll be picking up the wounded on Omaha in June '14 in our Dodge WC54 ambulance. It's quite the workout to drive, especially on English roads. Non-syncro crashbox 4 speed and suggestive brakes. I had to...

Moved from LA to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a year or two. Took the Buick to play with, which made quite the conversation piece at the Canyonlands campground. Taped it up to save it from stone chips and all went well except for a stress crack in the driver's windshield, which I'm pretty sure wasn't...

Beautiful sisters indeed!

Hahaha! Great story and jeep!

Fabulous pics Sapphire. I really envy you and your car (and your weather!). We had almost two weeks of continuous rain on our trip through France, the Benelux, and UK in the old Citroen. Unlike yours, our trip was not completely trouble-free though our problem proved to be minor: a faulty...

Thanks! Love those photos, they are an inspiration. We became Bavarian residents for the duration of our trip. Now the car is on the M/S Tristan headed to Los Angeles. I posted some trip pics in another thread but here are a few more. In the Eurotunnel.

*bump* Our '64 Citroen ID-19P

The road taken by Peiper toward La Glieze. Further south, Ft. Shoenenbourg in the Maginot Line. The battle for Schoenenbourg started on May 14, 1940. The fort fired 3840 shells in its own defense. The French government surrendered on June 25 but the fort was never taken and only handed over to...

This year we saddled up in a '64 Citroen ID-19 and took a tour of the Bulge area of the Ardennes on the way to the War and Peace Show in the UK. Here are some pictures. Sherman tank turrets indicate where the 101st Airborne stopped the advance of the 47th Panzer Lehr during its...

I went this year for the first time. The weather dampened the attendance but it was still quite impressive.

Saw it last night at the AFI Film Fest Premier. Wow. I mean, Wow. Every once in awhile you have to see a French film to remind you that they invented the art form. A beautiful homage to old Hollywood.

Loved it, great link! For once, youth not wasted on the young!

The critical question is, of course, whether it was sold with a free tank of gas, which in the UK would be about 10 percent of the car's value.

Great pics. The MB looks very authentic. As this is car show season, here are a couple from last weekend's Supercar Sunday in Calabasas. Lots of Supercars, and one old Buick. Plus an ancient Roller from Springfield, Mass.
