Officers on Patrol at the Rétro Mobile Automotive Show

and handcuffed too!)

I attended the Paris Rétro Mobile automotive show in early February and posted a number of photographs on my blog of February 7. My readers were so appreciative of the images there that I have decided to publish more.

Rétro Mobile – A Trip down Memory Lane (Part I)

Saturday, February 7th, 2015

I attended the Rétro Mobile automotive show in Paris on Thursday. What a joy it was to see what are now considered to be “classic” cars on display. I remember the days when I fervently wished that I could lovingly caress the smooth, sleek body…

Oops! How did that picture get in here?

…of my own fine automobile.

Those days are gone now. The autos that I once admired now cost thousands of dollars more than they sold for back in the days of my youth. I couldn’t afford them then and I can’t afford them now!
