Dear WeatherCat classic car enthusiasts,
Apologies for being particularly scarce on this forum. Since winter happens late in California (if a all,) I hadn?t gotten around to winterizing the cars until this week. Washing and waxing the cars is a long ordeal that takes most of the day depending on which car. Perhaps not surprisingly, my trusty wagon is the worst. After all, she does earn that wagon nickname:
?longroof.? So when it comes to wax time, that?s a lot of wax to apply!
Well, it was a terrific struggle, but I managed to buff that roof to a nice shine:
The rest of the car turned out nice and shiny as well:
As you can see, the autumn colors are still hanging on in our trees. I suppose the modest rains we?ve gotten encouraged the trees to grow a little more before the cold finally got them to
?shift-gears.? Here is a view of Biquette with trees all around:
Here is a close-up of her front - lots of chrome in 1965!
Finally what would a portrait of a station wagon be without a view of that all important tailgate?
So I hope this will be something of an apology for my racing through the forum. I've gotten 2 of the 3 cars in our
"motor-pool" completed. I still have one left. So still have some
?elbow grease? to put out before the rains really arrive.
Cheers, Edouard
