Lilac time

'Warble me now, for joy of Lilac-time...' - Walt Whitman

This lilac car has been parked for several days now outside this seafood restaurant near to the sea and the market and it attracts quite a lot of attention. I wasn't the only one taking a photograph. I've seen other old cars in the same place so perhaps the restaurant owner collects them?

  1. Whow! Not only the colour is great... what a beautifull, beautifull model! I guess it's fitting perfect in the pink-yellow-orange-blue Menton!

  5. Fantastic car! Reminds one of the car from the music group ZZ Top's videos (except this one is purple and theirs was yellow).

    Great photo.

  6. I would love a car like that - great advertisement for your business.

    I thought it was going to be a photo of flowers when i saw the heading.

  8. That's just a little rip-snorter, Jilly.
    Stuff from the past can make one feel quite mellow, n'est-ce pas.
