Pender has a population of about 2000 people in the winter - and in the summer that swells to about 4000. Most residents, whether summer or full time are retired, and they bring with them the cars of their youth. Three examples: <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2013/1928ModelAw.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/kscouff This 1928 Ford Model A is owned by one of the workers at the local Home Hardware. I asked him whether he had restored it and he somewhat sheepishly told me that he had bought it already done - and that it should be cleaned up again soon. Looked good to me. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2013/1935FordV8Roadsterw.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/lwkwswb This 1935 Ford Roadster with rumble seat is on the island every summer for the past few years but I don't think it stays here for the winter. It is a very nice restoration and always draws a crowd. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Howard+Cummer/Canada2013/58ChevImpalaw.jpg.html> http://tinyurl.com/kkc5bnl Finally here is a 1958 Chev Impala hardtop in top condition. This car took me back to my youth when I was just getting my driver's license and crazy about cars. From the period I can still identify most cars from the mid late 50's and early 60's by just looking at them because of the amount of time I then put in studying them. All taken with the Fuji XE 1 and either the 18 - 55 zoom or the 35 f1.4. Please look large, C&C always welcome. Cheers Howard
