Car Parts: The Trunk, the Insignia, and the Chrome

Please come back on Monday for the entire Pontiac.

Car Parts: The Grill and an Indian Chief Emblem

The grill, close

The grill, a bit less close


The Pontiac Silver Streak parked extremely close behind another car. I saw them at a lot near Bright's Auto Upholstery back on July 7, 2008. I couldn't get between the cars to take a better photo than these.

You can see me, reflected in the chrome, just like you could see me in Wednesday's post, reflected in the side of the car.

Car Parts: The Hood Ornament and Chrome

Three views of an American automotive icon and ...
... a headlight.

... the rounded hood.

...an up close look.


Mama says she doesn't remember us having a Pontiac. Did you or your friends? Maybe you're a car collector, and you have one now. I'd love to read your memories or see your photos.

Sunday, July 13, 2008 ... Oldsmobile

Here's what I'm thinking I want to do, Sleek Week. As in having trim graceful lines, according to Merriam-Webster Online. As in the chrome grill and front end of this Oldsmobile. I am excited to see other sleek things I've already photographed and/or what I might come across around Portland. Knowing me--and Mama would say, "Yep; you always go overboard!"--I just might come up with more than a week's worth. Hope y'all don't get bored with it/me. Let's just say that if something non-sleek rears its interesting, beautiful, quirky, whatever, head, I shall interrupt my self-proclaimed Sleek Week and then return to it, posthaste.
