Shadow Shot Sunday 2 returns, and a subject such as an old car may be passé to some…obviously not to me! Last Sunday was Father’s Day and the car show and open house at the Shelton History Center.It was not Just the chrome and size of this 1955 Packard Clipper Super Panama captured my attention, it was the color that brought me over. Not pink, nor mauve, I think it is a dusty rose. Under the slightly overcast gray humid sky and shadows, here it is a rich and understated hue, not at all garish.
Of course today one will not get colors like this and certainly not in two-tone. Nor interesting touches like the ships wheel emblem (for a Clipper ship). However as art, the overstyled and colorful cars were artistic rolling sculptures then…and now

That is a cool car. ;-)
This car looks like our 'vispipuuro'.
'Vispipuuro (Finnish whipped porridge) is a sweet, wheat semolina (manna) dessert porridge made with berries, usually lingonberries.' - same color.
Have a happy and sweet Sunday! :)
They surely don't make cars - or anything - anymore with the kind of flair, daring colors, and detail of these old beauties. I love this one, pink and all.
Hi Bro,
What a great vintage treasure. Men best friends is absolutely "cars".
Sweden have an area that love old cars and this time of the year is the perfect time to bring them OUT. They are such a beauty. Even me, drools §:-)
