What are you wearing today??

[AtomicEraTom]

lol My third Family Truckster is about 50 feet away in this pic, too. She needs some work before she's ready to join the photography. Amazing what a toll a kid between ages 17 and 20 and his friends can take on an old Caprice!

Wow! TWO Family Trucksters!

Thanks very much!

and you wear them well!

Beautiful cap mario! Is that the french one?

Yes, the same one.

Actually what I was wearing Sunday...

The one on the right is better than the one on the left.

No pics -YET... My ds Daniel already had a vintage WWII "Ike" jacket, 9th Air Force Army Air Corp. Staff Sargeant rank- issue dated 1944, the matching garrison cap, and the khaki tie with a summer khaki shirt. A trip after school to City Vintage of So. SF... Now he has the vintage correct matching green wool trousers, an early issue web belt, and the green wool shirt to complete the uniform, with repro gunner's wings and repro service ribbons.

What with his 'Captain America' haircut, he sure looks like the real deal- a teenager who lied about his age to enlist in WWII. This vintage uniform will serve him well for the wearing at vintage and historic events and dances for quite a while.

Mum (moi) picked up a vintage nightgown that will stand in for a full length slip for my vintage gown, and got a vintage stud and cuff link set for my bf to go with his early 1940s midnight blue vintage tuxedo. Thank you to vintage dealers Robert and Jula of City Vintage for all their help!!

We shall thusly be vintage attired for a dance on Saturday evening 10/20, pics to follow...

Care to share your reasoning?

Well it doesn't have wires hanging off the bumper for one.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Yeah, they just need to be tucked away. I haven't done anything with the car but drive it home. I'll start on her this weekend. Dad's gonna let me have the garage.

The lines are also just cleaner on the right one.

Your right or Tom's?

 

[jamespowers]

Mine of course.

 

[Touchofevil]

Mine of course.

Then I must say that I do agree with you!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

The Right one (Mercury Grand Marquis Colony Park) has been my daily driver and is not being sold. Everyone says I should sell it and keep the Country Squire. Glad to hear some folks still like my Merc better.

The MGMCP is definitely the sharper looking of the two for whatever that is worth. But then it is really only your opinion (and maybe james) that matters while Everyone and I can take a leap.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I value all input, but the Squire will bring more money on eBay. These past few posts should really be moved to one of the car threads.

A happy pair: My bf Tom and I tonight at a hotel dance in Palo Alto. We went as Nick and Nora Charles in our 1940s vintage.
