Ruby Tuesday


The Teach sponsors Ruby Tuesday, where we post a picture of something red. The picture has to be one that you took. Here's mine for this week.

My boss has a car collection in his office. When I retired he gave me this one. It's not the red convertible that I wanted, but I appreciated it nonetheless. But I forgot what it is...lol. Can anyone tell me what type of car and year it is?

Oh! Chevy Impala SS... Over the years, my dad owned about 4 Impalas, only they were all station wagons... he had 8 kids, afterall!

katherine. said...

I second what Dianne said :)

Wish we lived closer so that we could have tea again this week, Odat. It'd be fun to catch up --

Sandee said...

How nice that he did that. See everyone that knows you knows you want a hot, flashy convertible.

We're off to the boat for a long holiday weekend. See you next week.

Have a great day honey. Big hug and lotsa lovies. :)

Raven said...

Cool car. Too bad you can't grow it up into full size.

Akelamalu said...

Pity it wasn't a real one but how kind of him to give you one out of his collection.

M@ said...

That looks like either a 1982 Saab 900 or a '76 Ford F150?

I don't know much about cars....

Odat said...

Thanks all...and ya know what? After close inspection of the "vehicle" I see that it does say Impala SS...duh!

Odat said...

Buff, I bet you didn't even have to think about that huh? You guys and cars!

MeAnn, Yup the 60's were pretty good! :-)

Willthink, 8 kids????? Wowee!

Paul, I have to go look chevelles up...don't recall what they look like.

Claudia, but you already are so totally cool!

Ivanhoe, Yeah I like it too. My first car was a 1969 Ford Fairlaine!

Patti, Yeah I could've been a Super sport! hehe.

Roger, Cool, do you remember what color it was?

Slip, 64 huh? that was before I was born!!!! ahahahahahahaha

Nap...Yeah that would be awesome, wouldn't it?

Dianne, Thanks! I think I would too! LOL.

Katherine, Yes I was very surprised he gave it up!!
(but then again, I was such a great employee, hehe.)

Annie my dear, Yes, I'm due for some high tea......Some day.......

Raven, Wish I could do that!

Ake, Yeah, he was really a nice guy and fun to work for too.

Traveling Bells said...

How cute!!!

ummmmm.... an old red toy car?

Ralph said...

It's a always classic '64 Impala SS - red, baby moon hub caps, and the flags on the fender mean it's a 'Turbo-Fire' 327 or 'Turbo-Thrust' 409 - I didn't make those names up, GM did. Honest!

Sarge Charlie said...

Not a 63, 1965 or 65 impala SuperSport, if I could see the back of the car I will tell you for sure.
