Hot Rod in the Hood August 28, 2011

Looking out of the Kitchen Window I caught a glimpse of  a gleaming persimmon colored 1932  Ford Sedan Hot Rod parked across the street at the Spot.

Persimmon Colored Passion is a bright idea...and so is the care and craftsmanship that went into this work of art.
