kaethe Posted July 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) We had just finished viewing an Impressionist exhibit at the Legion of Honor Museum in Lincoln Park in San Francisco and as we began walking down the hill an impressive parade of vintage American cars arrived in the parking circle. However, these were not just any vintage cars, these had traveled across the ocean from Sweden for the 3000+ mile tour from New York's Times Square following the Lincoln Highway across America. Almost 80 cars from the 1930s to 1970s drove the route in honor of the 100th anniversary. One of the drivers told me they also participated in the July 4 Independence Day parade in Washington DC as well. I only had a few minutes to catch a few shots on this grey foggy day, which if you notice they are blurry it is because they were shot with one hand holding my MM and the other keeping my jaw from dropping open!

kaethe Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted July 30, 2013 Thank you all for your comments. I wish we could have stayed to see all of the cars arrive, the drivers were so excited to be at the terminus of the Lincoln Highway and the chrome on the cars was polished and gleaming considering the cloudy day and the road dust. I must admit I have not heard so much Norwegian conversation since attending the blessing of the fleet in Seattle many years ago. kaethe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
