I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use! Don't forget to sign in to MckLinky so we can all visit and comment on each others blogs!JULY 1967
Here is my dad with his prized possession (1967 red Firebird) in front of my grandparents home in Norfolk, Virginia. Him and my mom were still newlyweds at the time, and my sister was only six months old.
One thing about my dad is that he LOVED his fast hot rods! He always got compliments on his cars, and was always racing other guys/men! I know where I get my good driving skills from..lol. He was very meticulous/ about his vehicles, and as crazy as this sounds, when we were older, he didn't want us to roll down the windows in the back because DUST WOULD GET IN THE CAR!!

Very nice picture. My husband is the same way about his car. Once my husband slowed way down to go over a puddle.
LOL about him not wanting you to get dust in the car. He looks very happy.

What a cool car! I bet hubby would love to see this picture! And the not rolling the windows down sounds just like somthing my grandpa would say!
Lookin' good!! I love old pictures like that because you can just see how proud he is of his "wheels". GREAT flashback! And I'm laughing at your Outback post - picturing the people around you as you're taking pictures of all the food. My family is FINALLY used to it, thank goodness. :D Have a good weekend, girl ~ ♥
WOW!!! I had better not let my son see this. He is in LOVE with mustangs, and I can only imagine how much your dad must have liked that car...pretty spiffy!
What a cool car & your dad is so handsome. My inlaws are from the Norfolk area.
Ha! Ha! Great memory to share. He reminds me of my brother. He is a car nut too:-)
What great memories and such a classic picture!
Men and speed - They LOVE it! Great picture and it's even better because you have them scanned and can keep the memory alive forever.
Enjoy your weekend sweetie!
