Matt asked me to!

Well, Matt has asked me to post some more photos of me in my vintage stuff. Well, this one I just had taken by a friend of mine from England. This is a photo of me in my 46 Plymouth Special Deluxe.

My friend Gordon, who took this photo, took it in B/W. He is a photographer who specializes in taking period photos.

The car looks like new in this photo! I wish it looked this good now. It looks like I bought it new in 1946 and then had it for the last 58 years and the car was the only thing that aged!

Enjoy!

Amazing

I took a photo in B&W of my 1940 Buick...and the glossy film made the car look new, with never a ding or scratch!

I love quality Black and White photos. Real 1940!

Isn't it the best! Too bad when we all get together at the Queen, or something you'll all see the real Jenny. Oh well, she sure is photogenic.

You have a 1940 Buick? My friend that I got my Plymouth from has a 1940 Buick four door. Very nice car for sure!

Send me a photo of it some time Andy, I would love to see it.

Oh man, what a beauty! That's too bad that you had to sell the old girl. Those coupes would fetch you a cool $15,000 today or more.

Thanks again,

Root.
