Today’s photo is not an exotic racing or sports car, it is instead a prosaic American passenger car. I chose this image to commemorate in a small way the first flight of the newest American passenger plane, Boeing’s 787 “Dreamliner” which lifted off the runway at Paine Field in Everett, Washington just a few minutes ago. Congratulations are in order to Boeing and all of its employees (including a few who are my friends.) This hood ornament from the 50s pointed to a bright future, which we are indeed living out.
I hope to catch the 787 with camera in-hand when it lands at Boeing Field near my office later today, so stay tuned.
Looks like a ’57 Chubby, to me!
