Default Afternoon drive

My wife an I took ride in the '50 for lunch today. It was a great day for a ride and the car ran great. Stopped in Warne, NC at an old fillin' station for some photos.

Very cool. My grandfather (on my mothers side) had a Sinclair fillin' station in Cleveland, GA. from the mid '40's to the mid '60's.

That is really cool Gene! Thank you for sharing!!

We have a local artist (Lowell Davis), who has what is called Red Oak. He took several old houses, some old stores and a fillin station or 2, and old garage, and made a mocked up town.

It's a really neat place to take the old cars to in the fall or spring and take photos. Check this link out to see some of the photos.
