    How wonderful to be that 'together' in body and mind at her age - I'm already falling to bits! The car looks immaculate.

    Thank you for sharing. Dh and I love old cars. Our oldest car is a 1948 Dodge (dh's baby).

    What the article doesn't say about her is that she loves to teach kids about her old cars and will answer all of their questions. She is a nice woman who tells amazing stories and her character is beyond description. My grandparents knew her and I saw her several times around town. Thanks for posting it.
