Oh, and when it turn brown from rust spots, we called it the brown banana.
When I was a kid, my Dad had a 1954 Chrysler New Yorker,
yellow w/dark green top.
He called it the dirty old beast. That was a great car, it had a bigger radiator and a few other modifications so that it ran well in the desert. He was stationed in El Centro,California.

I found a red with a white top 'Belaire' sewing machine a couple years ago. I mentioned it to my boss. He bugged me until I finally sold it to him. He LOVES it. He says his wife wouldn't let him have a Belaire car but he can have this one any time. He even taught her to sew on it. It's some kind of badged Japanese machine. Very cool looking and sews about anything.
That is too cute! I love that he taught her to sew on it!
I get a kick out of the whole thing. Maybe he thinks if she gets used to it he can convince her to get a vintage red and white Belaire car to match... I wonder if they made those machine for boys to learn on. I had a wizard exactly like the Belaire - two tone - gray metallic with cream on top - I wrote up an ad for boys and it sold to a lady with boys.
