We’re not exactly Cuba here, (although in Syria you see lots of these oldies still driving), and so an original old American car (definitely now that they are all going bankrupt) is something of a sight.
Hubbie looks across the room to my computer screen, and says without batting an eye-lid; “It’s a Ford Galaxie, not a Cadillac. “
Now how the hell would he know that? He’s like Marisa Tomei in ‘My Cousin Vinny’ (Scroll down to the ‘fun stuff’). I'm impressed.
He is correct. In the nearly seventies, there were lots of these Galaxies on Beirut's roads.
ReplyDeletei wonder how the engine does on those hills
ReplyDeleteFYI, Ford imports were banned in the Arab countries between 1967 and 1989 as Ford was on Black List like Coca Cola. Ford a car guy, it is obviously an early 60's Ford Galaxy recognizable for its round tail lights. To be more specific, it is a 1962 model :)
ReplyDeleteHey, another Marisa Tomei!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that your husband commented on the car instead of the billboard, maybe he read the **warning** "keep your eyes on the road", good advice to drivers...and husbands
