A 1963 Caddy

So I have to dedicate a post just to the 1963 Cadillac that was the ride to the Roller Derby a couple weekends past. It was a beauty and in amazing condition. It literally stopped people on the streets. We would be sitting at a red light and people would ask if they could take a picture of the car before we drove off.  She is amazing with white and red leather interior and full stereo system in the boot, I mean trunk!

With regards to cars, Australia has prohibited the importing of "western" style cars (e.g. the drivers seat is where we all know it to be!). Australian cars put the driver in what would be the passenger seat to those of you in the US and parts of Europe. Not only do they drive on the opposite side of the road, they sit in the opposite side of the car! Now just imagine that right hand turn into the opposite lane of traffic! I am afraid of my first driving experience and everyone in Sydney should be too! 

It actually took me a few minutes to figure out that Mark, the owner of this beauty and Ann's date for the evening, was on the "driver's side" of the car. When probed further he said that if a car is 30+ years old, it can be imported into the country in a style that I (and you) would be accustomed too. Mark is a car nut who likes the classics. His other passion, Ford Mustangs (which we happened to see the same night in the carpark, I mean parking lot, of the garage--a Shelby Mustang)! Dad, he would make you proud.
