It's Like Heaven Everyday.

I you happen (like me) to be a fan of old cars, we're talking pre 1980, it is a treat to live in Los Angeles where deliciousness can be spotted daily.

My dear friend Charlie and I will always phone a report to one another and it usually goes like this:

Ring Ring


Me (looking at caller ID) : "Hello Gwendolyn"  (I try to come up with a different name each time)


Charlie:  "Fairfax, between 3rd and 4th, '67 Tempest, 327, white with blue interior."


Me:  "Oooo."


Charlie:  "Talk to ya later."


Me: "K, bye."


So Today's Report:

Santa Monica Blvd.  between San Vincente and Robertson, '69 black on black on black
Mercury Marauder X100!

In addition to being a sexy beast this was a big mother.  A full sized  Personal Luxury brand that shared much of it's front end styling with the Mercury Marquis.  My favorite styling quirk about the X100 is that it came with Mag wheels and fender skirts.  Mags and fender skirts together is sort of like Angelina Jolie in a Butte Knit shift!  But this thing came with a stock 429!  If you don't know what that means, it basically means that it will get you to the next gas station really, really fast.

Oh, and there was a really hot guy driving it.
