Pictures of my "57 Chevy"
[ATTACH=CONFIG]361408[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]361407[/ATTACH]Here are a couple of pics of my latest baby. She's actually a Morse Model 672 and looks so cool. We named her Chevrolet in honor of Ramona Quimby's doll, Chevrolet, and the fact that she looks like one. She's all shiny, chromy, and cleaned and waiting for a new part to come so I can use her. In case you are wondering, Ramona is a character in a series of Judy Blume books, which were favorites of my DD, when she was a child. We always thought Chevrolet was such an elegant sounding name for her doll, that when we saw this, we both screamed OMG, it's a Chevrolet! Amazing what amuses us, isn't it!

OOPS! I just read an article about Judy Blume and I guess I had her on my mind. That series was by Beverly Cleary! So sorry for having a sr. brain farkle! The series was one of our favorite reading projects and I don't know how many times we read them. My DD is 38 and they obviously made an impression on her, too.

Chevrolet, the doll, was a big hit around here, too. It's off topic but I'd like to suggest if you daughter was a big Beverly Cleary fan see if she has read her two part autobiography. THE GIRL FROM YAMHILL and ON MY OWN TWO FEET. Fans of her children's series will see how she incorporated many real people from her life into her fiction work.

I loved Beverly Cleary books as a kid and when my son was reading as a kid I told him to read the books about Henry Huggins. He thought they'd not interest him cause old Mom liked them. I encouraged him to just read one and see what he thought--I ended up having to buy all her books for him as he really loved them! I think they are ageless!
My first car was a '57 Chev and was turquoise and white just like your machine. Loved the look of the '57s.
