'Got to thinking about something yesterday while watching our 27-month-old grandson:
(photo is several months old; he's bigger now)
When he's here, he always wants to go to see "old cars in big garage," so we have the same tour and count cars and identify colors.
So I got to thinking yesterday: I was 27 months old in spring 1948. If I went to my Grandfather Palma's place and he had collectible old Studebakers of the same age to me in 1948 as are my 1964 models to my grandson in 2012, my Grandfather's Studebaker collection would have been no newer than 1900 production and would have been horse-drawn vehicles, not motorcars!
Geeze, talk about feeling old! Quick, where's the Geritol bottle? (Do they even still make that stuff?) <GGG> BP
