This IS your father's Oldsmobile!

My blip finder, Laurie, was on the job again today and let me know about this gorgeous car parked just up the street from us today. It's a 1953 Oldsmobile Rocket 88, cherry red, in pristine condition. The reflections were amazing, the shine blinding. I'm always astonished at the time and expense people are willing to spend on something like this. It's a beautiful machine, but I'd be afraid to drive it anywhere!

A car drove by just as I shot, you can see several different angles of it in the reflections; have a look at it large.

There are a dozen more photos in a Flickr set here.
