There are few things more appealing to men than old time, classic cars. The 1957 Chevy Bel Air is an iconic piece of machinery, when machinery in the hands of the great automakers of the past became works of art. There is something quite special about this car, its almost perfect proportions, and the colors of this particular model are quite appealing: tropical turquoise and ivory white. Such creations are no longer possible, so we can only look back at the beauty of such vehicles with a sad nostalgia, knowing that most of us will never have the pleasure of driving such a machine. True, these cars were death traps and lacked all the modern safety features, but the sheer audacity of the automakers to create such magnificent machines overflowing with beautiful curves and lines and colors is worth remembering and appreciating!

As winter reaches its deepest depths, the frustrations of February, with all its cold and darkness and teasing of better times ahead, urges us to wait for the hope of light, and all the beauty that comes with light and eventually the pleasures of spring.

Christmas is always such a great time of the year!
