Didn't buy an old car yet (that'll be quite awhile yet).
However...
After church stopped by the local flea market, as I often do. A friend of mine who is antique vendor had an interesting vintage photo on his table, as a vintage photo collector it piqued my interest. He said it was an 1880's photo of Rome by a well known early photographer, a little pricey at $45 (given my budget for the month) but had a great vintage frame with it. Just couldn't resist so... It's this photo by a fellow named Giacomo Brogi - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/...1_-_Roma_-_Chiesa_della_TrinitĂ _de'_Monti.jpg - so probably taken in the 1870's, likely worth the money I paid for it, if not more...
A little later in the afternoon stopped by an antique shop I've spent lots of time in, before I even went in the door spotted a great old jacket, a very heavy wool overcoat from the 1950's in excellent condition with a T. Eaton Company label on it - https://thecanadianencyclopedia.com/en/article/t-eaton-company-limited/ - a very well known historic Canadian department store. The jacket was a perfect fit, nice and long, almost down to my ankles, very heavy wool, a perfect way to dress up a little for some of our cold winter days, it will only get occasional use but I just had to get it, purchased it for $35!
Rather happy with myself, although days like this no wonder I don't have any money to buy an old car, amongst many other reasons... :grin:
