Why did they put furry gloves on her on a summer day?

Are those Sham-Wow gloves? She's still polishing the vent glass.
 

I see it has a A/A badge on it we have one of those' never been on our car we brought it in Canada with a few more car badges --
her car is aqua green same as my Pontiac in Canada ...but Lizzy's roller is a bit over priced for that type ...

Yeah, RR...we've had quite a life. If I was one to talk about some, the tales I could tell...lol.
Have always liked cars though. Lets face it, we grew up when "wheels" made all the difference in the world! Wonder if anyone else remembers the 57 coats of candy apple red paint some of the "hot " carriages wore in the 60's?! Hey, I had hot pink nail polish...you do the math.

LOL the real "candy apple" paint. (y) Brother and I decided candy apple red was the perfect color for our 72 Charger. Ordered up all the supplies and went to spraying. After the first 5-6 coats, we couldn't understand why we weren't getting that deep candy apple look. :unsure: come to find out that we were using a white base coat instead of the gold base and therefore, the car was slowly turning pink. :eek: Well, it was for sure a deep pretty pink, but no self respecting guy would be caught driving it so down the road it went. Alas, that was the end of our candy apple experience. :)

Hey, unless you guys were "Mary Kay" distributors, huh! Lots of coats of paint make for that gorgeous "pearly"depth of view. Did you ever go over it with the gold base again?
 
Liberty, no way were we going to sand it down and start over. We found a kind of swishy guy who wanted it, so, down the road it went. :) Unfortunately, that wasn't the only pink car I had.

Liberty. Found the pic of the other pink charger. It's a 71, not a 72 (damn old age) :) Started out as a wrecked blue car that I traded for a 44 mag. It was a great idea that just didn't pan out. :(

Hey, guy...gotta tell you - really like that muscle car. Chargers were hot. That color grows on you...know, its not a "guy" thing, but honestly that Dodge does look smokin' from what I can see. Did you have the basic slant 6 or 318? Or was it an SE? Hang a set of glass packs on it and it roars. Move over Harleys! Bet Liz didn't have one of these in her stable...lol.

whoa. I'm sorry that I kinda hijacked the thread.

Like I said... someone should just start a "cars" thread. Hey, dog nice though that you had the "mild" stall converter. Good to keep it "street wise". Liz would have had the SL version of your Charger - it was the "luxury package"...lol.

Which brings up a good point! Does anyone know how many cars Liz had? Did she collect them or what?
