Each year for the past 3-4 years I've picked up the first book in the series (One For the Money) over Memorial Day weekend (or roughly 3 weeks before the next novel is released) and I read through all of the novels again ending just in time to be up to date when the next new novel comes out. I look forward to this every year. It's a happy ritual for me. The day the new novel comes out I usually spend several hours reading it but I always make sure not to finish it the same day. No matter what, I draw out the pleasure to make it last at least 2 days. I haven't been able to make a new Evanovich novel last more than two days yet... I only have so much restraint!
I was at the Motor Muster at Greenfield Village the other day and low and behold what did I see? A powder blue '53 Buick! I couldn't resist the opportunity to take some photos to share with you...
Front view...
Side view...
Back view...
This is one ugly car! No wonder Stephanie is so embarrassed to be seen driving this baby when she's making a fugitive apprehension. It does make you want to laugh just imagining it, doesn't it?
I tried to get a view of the car that wasn't ugly but there wasn't one. Here's the best I could come up with...
So now you know what I'm up to today (and some of tomorrow). Gotta run for now... Ranger's calling ;-)
The car isn't ugly. It classic, and in beautiful condition. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWhat memories this evoked! My Grandpa had a black 1953 Buick Roadmaster and I remember the armrest that came down in the backseat that I could sit on, the loops you could use to pull yourself out of the back with, and the wonderful plush upholstery. Stephanie Plum should put hers in storage and bring it out for the Classic Car Show!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I googled "53 powder blue Buick" and your site was the first to come up! I figured since I was on book 6 in the Stephanie Plum series, I might as well see what Uncle Sandor's car really looked like! Thanks for the photos!
