I really liked these GM fastbacks, especially the Caddies and Buicks. I wish the trunk lid had been down, but this was at a car show, so...

I did some Photoshopping on this to remove distractions, but there is a very high mesh fence-like thing that is behind the car. It is impossible to get it out, so don't let it bother you too much.

I always loved this style. We had a 1949 for many years that my dad dearly loved.

It's good to hear from you. From what little info I could gather, I doubt that any of it was based around the TR-3. I'll see if I can gat further info about it.
The pix just ignited an old memory. The similarity was just the lines of the side profile.

[quote=black mamba]Again, great shots of almost forgotten history.

..... Picture 2 - 1950 Nardi 1100 Sport. Built by Nardi with Motto coachwork.

Picture 3 sure reminds me of a Triumph TR-3. I wonder if that was the foundation?

BBurns, that sounds like sound advise. UPS is preferred over Fed Ex so I will go talk to them. I have 3 SKB cases so it will be costly. What lind of 'band' are you referring to? Thank you.
You should lock the cases. Highly recommended.
Banding is an extra step to insure integrity throughout the journey. Banding like that used on crates and pallets. Ask if they can do it for you.

About a week or so ago we visited the Valley in hopes of viewing the Wild Flowers - Not This Year - The in-the-know locals told us that without rain in December no blooms. However, with lots of rain in Jan/Feb & some in March, We did get to see lots of very green Sage Brush & Death Valleys brand new for this year's lake
I hope you enjoy viewing the photos half as much as I did taking them.
All great shots.

Been there many times for the bloom over the years.
It is always a crap shoot but I've determined over the years that the best time to go is the last weekend in March.
Past the first weekend in April, it is too hot and the flowers are gone.

Here is my post from a 2015 trip: Annual Death Valley Sojourn

My entire photograpy inventory needs to be moved. Cameras, lenses and flashes, are packed in SKB 3i-2011-7dz cases. This is the case with the removable Think Tank zippered case within it. It is an airline approved case for carry on but limited to 1 per passenger. I have 4 cases packed.
Does anyone have advise on how to ship these? My concern is theft in-transit, and damage. It is a long haul
cross country move.
All my gear is insured but the hassle of having to deal with a claim is not something I wish to experience.
Getting here was only 2 cases. One as carry on, 1 checked but now my equipment inventory has doubled. Does anyone have experience with this situation? How did you handle it?
Any suggestions anyone may have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I know exactly where you are. I'm guessing you are coming back of Greely or Eielson.
I handled shipping logistics to & from Ft. Greely in 2003 to down below.
Photograph every item and record its serial number for insurance purposes.
Band the cases and ship them to your destination via Fedex or UPS.
At the time we used Fedex exclusively with no problems.
Yes, it may be expensive but your gear will arrive intact.
One less thing you need to worry about.

You can coordinate delivery times to accommodate the recipient.
Definitely require a signature so it is not left unattended on a porch.

Good Luck

There is a time and a place for the big iron. Sometimes I want more control and versatility. But if I just want to enjoy the trip unencumbered, I take the phone.

The teacher asked Little Johnny, what my favorite animal was?

Little Johnny said, "Fried chicken."

She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else laughed.
My parents told me to always tell the truth. I did. Fried chicken is my favorite animal.

I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA.
He said they love animals very much. I do, too.
Especially chicken, pork and beef. Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office.

He asked me what happened, I told him and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class the teacher asked Little Johnny what my favorite live animal was.
I told her it was chicken. She asked me why?
So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken..

She sent me back to the principal's office. He laughed and told me not to do it again.
I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.

Little Johnny said, "Colonel Sanders."

Guess where I am now..
