Farewell to the "56.

 This blog is not about quilting, gardening, traveling or cooking. It is about a car. A 1956 Pontiac that my husband has owned since 1999 & has restored thoughout the years.  
The dashboard is original complete with the black & white dice.
I helped with the recovering of the seats & door panels.
Albert had the car repainted after much time spent doing the body work.
Our grandkids loved going for ice-cream in "Papa's Old Car."
Albert sold the car & it's going to it's new home tomorrow evening.
We are both sad to see it go as Albert has had it since 1999 so the old car is part of our family but like he says he learned alot when he was restoring it & now wants to do another one. And so now the search begins for another treasure. Albert has several makes & models in mind & also a friend who knows where to look in back yards & pastures. Farewell, 1956 Pontiac, we had alot of fun riding in you, giving rides to family & friends & attracting alot of attention along the way.
