Big Old Cars (#46 series)

 Large American car, tiny oxen cart. Let's see, which one will be most effected by the higher price of fossil fuel. Hmmm.





There really is a place with this name in New Mexico, USA. See it there on the map?

at #1.15 a litre there isn't much room in my life for these old cars on the road, but I'm always glad to see them at car shows!.

the cards look great.

How did I get into this?
