Vroom vroom!

So I've always been a fan of classic cars but I've never owned one. I don't know anything about fixing them or anything but I cant help but love them. I'm looking into getting one for my next car and I'm super excited and becoming kind of obsessive.
I especially love vintage Mercedes Benz's! They just don't make cars like this anymore...



Such beautiful lines.


I think my favorite is from 1969, though most of the ones from the '60s are pretty sweet.

I'm imagining driving around in one of these and feeling pretty awesome. I also think the photo potential is pretty amazing ;)
Till then I've done some pretty high tech photoshopping. haha. Dreaming out loud...

"Oh hey guys. Just doin some shopping on Rodeo Drive. No biggie. What's that? You want a photo?? Suuuure."


"What? Oh no no, I didn't dress to compliment my car color. Oh you like it? Why thank you... And you want me to be a famous actress and model and you'll pay be a billion kajillion dollars to do so? Oh no, I couldn't."


"I'm just on my way to hang out with all my rapper friends. They said they didn't want to have a party unless I was coming so I better go... Snoop hates when I'm tardy for the party."


Do any of you have older cars?? What kind?

YA!! 86 was a good year ;) I was 5 and hopped up on chocolate milk!

I had a '68 Mustang. I loved it but I had to sell it when we moved 4 yrs ago because I have too many vehicles and that was the one that made sense to sell. It was awesome driving that gorgeous teal blue vehicle with its loud rumbling powerful engine and having all the guys drool over it.

I also have an '86 bmw 2dr e30 which is also on the way to a new home.

I would love to own an older Mercedes as well, but I LOVE the 2 drs!

I can totally see you in that type of car!

I will forever love the little yellow car in the movie Clueless. The one that Christian drove when he took Cher out on a "date".

I once had a 59 Cadillac and it's still my dream car...that and the 1958 Chrysler Imperial.

Hi Celine,

I e-mailed you yesterday about an opportunity to be featured in VAMPD magazine: www.vampdnow.com We have decided to add a new shoe section to the Anniversary issue and I thought of you as the perfect person to feature for the Shoe Designer page. We are only featuring one Shoe Designer and I would really like it to be you. Please let me know if you are interested or not. I need to confirm someone before I leave on vacation next week and will need to find someone else if you aren't interested. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!

We have a 65 "Shelby" fast back Mustang that came to us fully restored and race ready. I know the feeling about having a classic car, there is NOTHING in the world like it :) it is like driving your fav Loub's every day!
My hubby was bummed that the stang is such a Dude Magnet, but it is awesome to here that there are still girly girls out there (like me) that love cars! good luck on your search, and make sure that you have a mechanic (you trust) check it thoroughly before you sign on the dotted line. There are some real lemons in disguise out there.

Ronnie Heart said...

Well from this post, I will take note that you adore ancient autos. i agree with your taste :)
