1941 Oldsmobile, slightly modified.

There was a street rod show somewhere between Indiana and Knoxville, Tennessee during our weekend on the road. The entire time we were in Kentucky and Tennessee we kept seeing them rolling down the highway, headed north on Saturday, and south on Sunday. A few, however, were actually heading the same direction we were, and I goofed around with the camera trying to catch some of them as they passed. In general, the lighting angles were lousy and I did a poor job of framing them, but this one was so odd I decided to put it up. It’s a 1941 Oldsmobile, and, no, they didn’t come in two shades of raspberry when they were new. I don’t recall ever in the last 20-some years seeing one of these in real life, or even in pictures. Sadly, I had to do a web image search to find it and fully identify it (though I am proud to say that it only took two searches to figure out the correct year = consolation prize for me.)

So, a day on the road with eye candy driving by and gorgeous scenery. Nice.
