Well I am going to buy myself a vintage car. It will be my third. I have owned and sold [with utter sadness] the previous two. But this year is my year. Now it's time again. This is the last time. This one will be with me forever. And this is the beauty I have my eye on. She is a 1960 Holden FB Station Wagon. And she has my name written all over it. Don't you think?
COOL! Go for it - definitely!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable!!! I want a vintage car so bad. I'm having a giveaway to celebrate Spring Break...make sure to head over and enter! Kori xoxo

Without a doubt Simone!
ReplyDeleteShe's the ultimate car, stylish but with great functionality.
Of course the colour is a winner too.
Good luck, I hope that you're successful,

Very cute! We have done the same with vintage cars. Our last was a large white merc and it was amazing. The trick is to pay a bit more and get one in really good condition mechanically. And then speak to those in the know and get a good mechanic that specialises in vintage. My dream is a Valient Safari stationwagon. Hope you decide to go for it! cheers Katherine
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful car... go for it! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my good gravy! I want one in yellow!!! Go for it and keep it!

Hi Simone, I think she's a beauty.. even if she is a Holden.. as I've been brainwashed to be a Ford follower by hubby!lol! I'm really not into cars but there is something just so beautiful and classical about vintage cars. Hubby has had a few in his days too and at present has a Ford XY which we take out on special occasions only!! My neighbour has one like yours or similar but a sedan and is grey and pink and I just love it.. more than my hubby's car! I say go for it! take care, Maryann
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely she's yours! Go for it...she reminds me of my house..I call her my grand old lady..'cos I feel she's earned it and we just caretake her, not own her. I think the car is the same..I wonder how many owners she's had and how many kids have played on her back seat! You will be a wonderful caretaker owner of this beauty.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I so love the car! So awesome.Thanks for visiting my blog too!
ReplyDeleteoh, i think it's definitely a 'must have'.

yes do it :)
ReplyDeleteit is absolutely beautiful.
I wish to own a similar one called a Holden Station Sedan.
That is a fabulous car! Go for it! xxoo :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love it!!! My husband is a big fan of vintage cars, mostly the sporty kind though, but me..., I like them large and stately, just like this blue beauty.
ReplyDeleteJust vinatge perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteGo for it...
I can just imagine a few Beach Vintage cushions in the backseat, a picnic basket in the trunk and the wind in your hair as you head to the sea.
ReplyDeleteWow! That brings back memories of our family car, brand new in 1958. It was a station wagon to fit in the 5 kids, front bench seat and it was blue too. Not 2-toned however. Just gorgeous- go for it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely you should if for no other reason than it's such a pretty colour ;)
ReplyDeleteWoohoo!!! How exciting! Love the colour :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I also want to find myself a vintage beauty.... along with many other vintage things. lol
ReplyDeleteOMG Simone, how could you not? She is an absolute beauty....I can easily see myself driving around in her :)

DO IT!!!!

Yes do Buy it.Someone has to have a car they want. I so have been wanting a 1954 Holden ute it would do me just fine.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I love it that it's a station wagon. When I was a kid...my parents had a pink 57 chevy his grandfather left him and he fixed up. I thought it was so cool. I still remember the way it smelled inside. A smell I haven't smelled since. My father sold it about 10 years ago to a man that collected. He never drove it any more and hated to see it just sit.
ReplyDeleteThat's so cute. I love the baby blue shade. My great-grandmother had a vintage red car from the 1950s and I used to love riding around in it.
ReplyDeleteI get all gushy when I see these beauties, my first car was an EK 61 Holden Station wagon, two tone Aqua Blue and my second an EK 62 Holden, Venetian Red with Pearl White roof and matching velour interior she was BEAUTIFUL!!! I would love to have another, but once you have air con and power stirring it's hard to go back:)
ReplyDeleteMy hubbie was very envious....and to spot the number plate as our own home state...I think he is wishing he could go and search it out for himself.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a Holden, but I love the way she looks, especially that color!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marcia
no doubts! that is a beautiful car & so perfectly "beach vintage!" just needs a vibrant surf board stowed in the back or on top!
ReplyDeletexo
elyse
so fun!! every time you drive her, find her in a parking lot, see her outside on your drive...it will make you smile :))))
ReplyDeleteCan I come for a ride?? I think you should go for it! That car is awesome and just the right color and if it is your year well then it does have your name written on it!
ReplyDeleteSherry
You need convincing? Don't believe you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy

ReplyDeleteOh thats just gorgeous!! I love the FB Sedans, dig those fins baby!! lol I have a 1939 Willys Sedan that we were going to do up but we are running out of time and money and we are going to sell her soon :(
ReplyDeleteOh yes!!!!!! That is the exact colour you should have too! That car is perfect for you too! All you would need is a vintage picnic set for the back and you would be in vintage bliss! I hope you get it, it's a perfect match! X
ReplyDeleteThat is super cute, I love the colour! I am a VW Beetle girl and hope to own another vintage one soon, like the pastel pink and pastel blue ones I drove in my early 20's...

ReplyDeleteOh yes! Do it! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOMGoodness! Yes, go for it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a vintage truck in the same color..someday!
As we used to say in the 60s — groovy! I would say definitely buy this car! I'd love to have a station wagon again, they are so functional and so cool!
ReplyDeleteLove it and yes! you should certainly have it. My husband is working on ours with hopes it will be ready by late spring/early summer. Long, lazy car drives....uhhh, bliss!
ReplyDeleteY-E-S! Lucky girl :).
ReplyDeleteLove her! The blue/white color is gorgeous, you should go for it! Enjoy life to the fullest!
ReplyDeleteAh, that brings back memories! However, now that I'm ancient, give me an air-conditioned, non gas guzzling small car (easy to park) with air bags and good suspension! Not as romantic but infinitely more comfortable! Robin.
ReplyDeleteI think she has your name spelled all over her. Go for it!

ReplyDeleteMy friend once owned a similar era Holden in the same colour. We named her 'Miss baby blue', Babs for short. I remember taking weekend drives to the beach, all dressed up in vintage op shop outfits. We had a ball!
Oh yes, you must! I love the color, that it's a wagon, everything! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
Simone, I've been away and missed this. Please tell me you bought her???!! So divine and so practical as well... The perfect wagon. Pxxx
ReplyDeleteFar too COOOL! Buy it and style away til you drop! That's a great car.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a vintage Morris Minor Traveller that I completely rebuilt and "woodied" out like an old american station wagon, wish I still had that one!
Enjoy it!
