Default Autumn Cruising? Best time of year!

So we go out for a drive with the Fairlane on this beautiful Indian Summer afternoon in Michigan - and get pulled over! Well, actually I pulled over when we spotted this '47 - or is it a '48? - Ford sitting alongside the road near Cohocta (small village nearby). Not a real police car but still a nice restoration.

The fall colors are near-prime here, not a lot of them in this picture but it was a nice colorful ride. We're going again soon.

Looks like you had a fun day, and that's what cruisin in an old Ford should be all about.

Reminds me of the Sheriff on the movie "Cars".
Great shot.

Beautiful shot! The most colorful tree I've seen in Ford Fall Fotos this year.

Snagged these two shots on the road trip with my grandson over the weekend.

Delta, Utah

I was out with the Tbird today. Rain stopped in the morning, sun came out and went out on a short cruise. Mid 60's.
