Jeannie..when the first Grandam came out in 1987/88 my wife and I saw one in a showroom it was a gold color. Both of us made a dash for it at the same time. We drove it home an hour later. What a wonderful car. People would just stare when you would drive down the street.

This shot of yours was a one of a kind I am sure. Good job and a quick eye I might add.

If there was one thing two many in my lifetime it would have been cars. Since I was fifteen I have had close to 80-85 cars. Below is one of my favorites. However the one I had was red.
A very hot Swedish Vovlo Coupe

this one does not have factory stock wheels and tires on it

Hey Bob J; Your picture reminds me of the first car I ever drove. The one I drove was a 1928 Ford Model A open touring car. You needed a block and a half to stop it once it got up to a speed over 40mph.

I like the shot you took. Peaceful reminder

Wow, that looks like a Volvo P1800 concept car, never saw one before. My uncle Rick was the VP of Volvo USA back in the 60's.
I always wanted a 1800ES Sport

Hey Doe...It looks like you may have had it focused too close and you got way too close to the coupe while taking the short.
I had a 1939 Merc coupe ( green ) that had the same body shape as this one does.

good shots. I too love the old cars as I had way too many in my day. At one time I had four parked on the street in Chicago and this one lady asked me how many cars do you have. That was very funny at the time.

BobJ; Now you are right in my alley. The red P1800 coupe in your pcture was excaulty like mine. I started working with Wigglesworth Volvo in Evanston Ill in 1963 and I drove ( in addition ) semi to Jacksonville to pick up new volvo's back then as well as working as a parts manager for the dealer. We even raced a few Volvo's on a frozen lake. I am sitting here looking at one of my first place throphys as I type this. I am enclosing a picture that is similar to one our volvo's that our family had for many years and my kids learned how to drive in it.

Love the Volvo pictures. Keep snapping

not my picture but a similar model taken by another
