A few days ago we had dinner at that Thai restaurant across from the Q Shack. On our way out we saw the most amazing car in the parking lot. An Edsel Bermuda station wagon. The colors were fairly subdued -- tan and cream, I think -- and the paint job looked pristine. In fact the whole car looked pristine. Whitewalls so clean they could blind you on a sunny day. Nary a speck of rust. Perfect upholstery. The owners manual sitting neatly on the front seat. I could have kicked myself for not having my camera on me.
Today Kip_w posted about it being the 50th anniversary of the Edsel this week. Following links I found out that the Bermuda wagon is really rare. We saw the 6-seat model, of which fewer than 1500 were ever made. (There was an even rarer 9-seat Bermuda, with fewer than 800 ever produced).
Now I really want to kick myself for leaving my camera home that day.

I too missed an awesome shot yesterday when I took my camera out of my bag. Not quite as classy as your photo op though. A dog was sitting in the back lot at OCSC and had a little cigarette butt perched on his paw like he was smoking, all on his own with no human intervention. What's funnier than a dog with a cigarette?!
If we could only find a dog smoking a cigarette sitting on the hood of an Edsel Bermuda, now that would be the most awesome photo ever.
