One can wish it were a Catalina (2 door coupe).

It's a mistake I keep making in my head but rarely commit to keyboard...A friend of ours had one, a '53.

Pretty sunset so I went finish off the camera roll.

Radiator has gone from a weep to an all out leak.

Nice and bright- parking lights on for reference; normally those aren't on when I'm driving (they go off when the headlights are on and here you're not allowed to drive about with only the parking lights lit).

So, no sidelights on the move? Seems at odds with the usual requirement for outline markers on trucks, trailers and the like....

Nowt so queer as lawmakers!

Nope, parking lights only.

You can put marker lights on but for driving you have the options.

Lights off, dip beam or high beam.
