Jeeps parking next to other cool things!

On a run up to the local Home Depot saw this beauty in the parking lot.... 53 Cadillac in pretty decent shape. Snapped a pic and chatted with the owner for a few minutes. Love me some old iron!

OK - I see that you are envious of the chrome on the Cadillac. Are you going to add more bling to your Jeep?
No offense... Your chrome grill looks good

It’s Chrome-tastic! Beats the hell out of blacking out everything nowadays. Gotta be an original!

[emoji23]. Now that’s funny!! I like my black wheels, bezel, and grille inserts. Looks good against the white

I’ve seen quite a few with chrome I do like. I’m just not a fan of the tube accessories

Agreed. My Chrome stays cause it was part of the package on my Jeep, and I love blinding folks on sunny days.

This is the F 100 I asembled for the City of Texas City in the mid 90's. It served from Italy to Vietnam.

This is a mockup of a Jenny that were originally stationed here in 1915. The planes were flown from Augusta Ga and took around a month to fly here.

In the states, they're called Dagmars.

A couple of lines I grabbed from Wiki:
"Dagmar (born Virginia Ruth Egnor, November 29, 1921 – October 9, 2001) was an American actress, model, and television personality. In the 1950s, the statuesque, busty blonde became one of the first major female stars of television, receiving much press coverage."

"In 1950s auto design, the slang term "Dagmar bumper" emerged to describe dual chrome pointed projections on the front ends of Cadillacs, Buicks, Packards, and other U.S. automobiles, an allusion to the actress' physique and trademark attire."

The resemblance is uncanny!

Never been to Finland, but I did have a pretty expansive Marilyn Monroe memorabilia collection for about twenty years. I tried to give up cars, as the hobby (habit) is so expensive, and takes up so much room. I ended up with the cars and the added expense of the Marilyn collection!
