Red cars always draw attention

Sometimes I think they need a special section for the red cars. Hood tall. Checkered past. OK, I’ll go through the aisles to check them out one by one.

Not only under the hood, but over it

Some people wonder what these classic cars have under their hood. This lineup made me think about what they had over the hood, too. And note the stuffed Cougar on the dash of the black car.

Cheers for the two-tone

I never know what I’ll find year-to-year when I do my foot-cruise of the classic-car congregation at the Electronics Parkway parking lot. The two-tone baby caught my eye this summer. Sweet!

I can count on the classic cars every year

At a certain point of the summer, I know if I go to Kinney Drugs on Electronics Parkway, I need only walk to the adjoining parking lot to get a great view of classic cars. I right away was drawn to this lineup of Cougars. And note the stuffed Cougar on the dash of the…

They built this when?

We spotted the really big building while traveling the Syracuse Creek Walk. Its presence is a bit jarring, really, next to the nature of the path along the water.
