Way cool pix, and hey! I've seen that pic of the gray '52? Caddy-lac in front of that barn before.
You took that one? Strange that I saw it elsewhere!

You probably HAVE seen that Caddy elsewhere.

The pic I posted is one I took during my trek along a portion of the IL section of the Lincoln Highway, September 2009, before heading onto Route 66.  The ironic part of that pic ... is that I drove by that place en route to Franklin Grove IL, the headquarters for the Lincoln Highway Association.  Once there, I stopped at the main building and then for a bit of lunch at the cafe across the street.  While at the LHA, I purchased a LH book.  And, during lunch, I flipped through it briefly to take a look at the photographs ... and saw a pic of that Cadillac in front of that barn!  So, on the way back, headed to I-39 and onto Route 66 in north-central IL, I stopped ...and snapped the photo you see in this thread.

I missed this thread...very cool pics here Knightfan!

*nods*

Thank you, Paul!

Thank you!  I hope you are able to see the places you want.

LOL!  Yeah, we got lost a bit, too, when I was taken into Boston.  The 2 that got us lost ... people that live in the Boston area........

A bus stop shelter, razored by a car at Spa, Belgium. It is unchanged for a week now - nobody really seems to care about it...
