Chevrolet Bel Air
There were no classic car shows during the past year of pandemia.
No grassy fields of neatly parked vintages with chrome accents glittering in the summer sun.
No peeks into restored interiors invited by open windows and fuzzy dice hanging from rear view mirrors.
No friendly conversations with proud owners graciously sharing prized possessions.
I suppose many would say this was just a minor inconvenience, considering the lost jobs and grim accountings of those infected and those who died.
And Yes, I’d agree.
But I hadn’t realized how much I missed classic car shows last year.
And also those times before then, when you didn’t need to think about ‘social distancing’ with others in attendance for fear of what you or the other might have acquired, but not yet know.
