"Perks" of an original owner!!

Been wanting to do this for awhile now and it happened this past weekend! The "older" picture is of my son, Jeff, at the "Car Craft Street Machine Nationals" in Pomona, CA, 1982. The other picture is of his daughter, my granddaughter Ava, taken Saturday the 25th. Same car........same ice chest (!!).....35 years apart!! They are both at about the same age, 2 1/2 years old. I love it!! Priceless to me!! Only thing I should have done is taken a picture of both of them together!!

So cool! I saw it on Facebook, where you had to "explain it" a few times :)

That's great! I always let the kids "help" with the cars when they were little....and I have all girls.

But, wait.......there's more!!! We were going through "stuff" to take to the Goodwill today and found this!!! It's the shirt that my son was wearing in 1982!!! Did I mention that my wife never gets rid of "stuff"????!!!! Not sure if there will be another photo shoot in the future but it's crazy how close we can get to the original picture with what we still have!! The Nova? Check; ice chest? Check; 1980 Winternationals t-shirt? Check!! Might find the red hat next!!

Thank you all for your kind words!! It's great how cars can bring us all together but it's family and friends that mean the most!! Right before I took the picture of my granddaughter I had to get the car out of the garage. I asked her if she wanted to go with me. She said yes and climbed right in. It was the first time she was in the car when it was running and she loved it!! Car girl in the making!! A few weeks ago my son, daughter-in-love and granddaughters were coming to a car show where my car was. When they told Ava they were going to see "grandpa's old car" she said, "do we have to buy him a new one"!! Out of the mouth of babes!!

Great pics. You should have the pics blown up and framed.
