March 9, 2016 ~ Slow Down on the Back Roads

"There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy."

As I was driving home a few days ago, I decided to take a back road. When I got to the little town of Goshen, this vintage car appeared in front of me. Yes, I slowed down and snapped the picture while driving. I know it a no-no, but I was looking at the road - not the camera - with one hand on the wheel...driving very slowly...and just lucked out. He was not driving more than 15 MPR, but I loved every minute of the ride. This is one of those beautiful reasons to be happy. Wouldn't you love to have this?

The older gentleman who owned this truck told us he had bought it eight months ago. He showed us some photos of it, and it was a mess and looked like it was ready for the junk yard. He did all of the work himself. Would someone please tell me what year and model this is so I can put it into the post? I think the year might well be 1955, because when I enlarge the license it says “ 55 BEAST." Thanks so much.

It is a beauty!
