Can you still buy Morgans in the US?

Lucky Strike--

You CAN still buy Morgans in the U.S.

Not to put you on the spot, but what kind of car(s) do you drive? You have a great eye for style in clothing and home furnishings, so I'd like to know how that applies to your mode of transportation.

Oh but you do!

Nothing fancy on my part - I have my grandfather's old Volvo, which I paid nothing for. I use it about twice a week.

Lucky--

I like the car. Nothing fancy, yet it has a sort of understated elegance. Suits you. Provides a nice frame for your wardrobe & doesn't overshadow it.

This would be a great event at which to connect with SFers. I'm a regular at the Concours, although I didn't make it this year.

The event is a great excuse to dust off a hat and ponder the merits of linen vs. seersucker.

Great pics! Especially liked the Traction and DS, the Caterham (right?) Seven.

I do, however, hate you for reminding me of my old E-Type Series-2 2+2 4.2L. One never sees pictures of them, because they are thought less attractive than the standard 2-seater. However, so long as they are running they are both beautiful and far more useful.

I feel like an utter philistine for confusing the two.

Very nice.

The fancy part is the mint condition.

A friend of mine had the same car in the same color. Good memories.
