Nostalgia – I remember my grandfather drove a car like this.

The moment I saw it, a flood of memories rushed back—the old car, just like the one my grandfather used to drive. The deep, polished chrome, the classic curves, the way the engine had a low, steady hum—it all transported me back to those summer afternoons when I'd sit in the passenger seat, watching him handle the wheel with effortless ease.

I remember the way the sun glinted off the hood as we rolled down quiet country roads, windows down, warm air swirling in, carrying the scent of fresh-cut grass and roadside wildflowers. He always had one hand on the wheel, the other tapping gently on the dashboard in time with an old tune playing on the crackling radio. It was never about the destination—just the joy of the drive, the stories he told along the way, and the wisdom he passed down between shifts of the gear.

Every now and then, when I see a car like that parked at a show or cruising down the street, it’s as if I can hear his laughter again, feel the vibration of the road beneath us, and remember those simple, perfect moments that time can never take away. Thank you for allowing us to be involved in this memory Robert Baxley and this old classic was perfect for our Americana 2025.
