"Photographs and Memories"
This video tells the story of our time with my '66 Corvair Monza coupe, "Ashley", from the time we picked her up in Denver and drove her home to Philly in May 2003 through our years with her to our final trip with her, delivering her to her new owner in August 2009. It's my first atempt at video-making, so it's a little rough, but it was a labor of love. I set it to Jim Croce's beautiful but mournful song "Photographs and Memories" about fnding and losing one's true love - kind of overstating it a bit, but Ashley was the best Corvair I've ever owned so I think it's appropriate.

"Jim:
That brought a tear to my eye , most people would say hey, it's only a car, Not true , it's something that is part of us as we put so much time and love into these buggys for what ever reason it's hard to see them go. I just sold my 66 blue corsa and my red 65 monza last week after years of putting them into top condition , they had to go so others that I have can be returned to their former glory, this is what I do now that I am retired , as I also love these cars. Some day you will have another to care for.
