Because I LOVE dates and date shakes and did enjoy one there (though the date shake at Hadley"s on the way out of town I thought much tastier).Did you know that is a National festival? So small I will never need to go again-but glad I did. Loved Palm Springs though and am glad it looks better than ever. Really wish we could have seen your slide show-hope to catch you in Brea!

(Maybe because it's about 100 miles from where I live?) On the other hand, I thought even when new the Dodge cars for '62 were ugly things, foreign influence or not.

I'll bet they'd win the camel race. Can you imagine the reaction if some real desert-dwelling Arabs showed up for the festival? I’ll bet they’d win the camel race.

Hmmm, a Dodge Polara convertible. Wonder why I haven't heard of that one. I'm reading an interesting book called The Big Book of Car Culture. Very fascinating. Sounds like a good gig you got with the slides for modernism week. Check the book out when you get a chance. You sure he’s not staring at the women? Hmmm, a Dodge Polara convertible.

You will be the crowning experience of the weekend I'm sure, Charles! I have a feeling the Sheik of Araby is staring at the Torqueflite Transmission array, push buttons ever so conveniently located to the left of the steering wheel. No more unsightly shift lever to block the view of that fab dashboard! I KNEW I should have gone to the Modernism show! You will be the crowning experience of the weekend I’m sure, Charles!
