Beauty and the LBC

[stretchit2]

Every Saturday there is a Cars & Coffee at the base of the San Gabriel Mtns in La Canada which is up in the northeast corner of the greater Los Angeles area. It is a well established weekly event that attracts some great cars. There is a pretty good mix of people at this event; everything from mechanics, rocket scientist (JPL is near by), educators, just plain folks, with a good deal of representation from the entertainment industry.

I tell you this because it is background to the story I want to share with you.

A couple of Saturdays ago while hanging out at Cars and Coffee my buddy Steve Gerow introduced me to a woman who had stopped by to admire our Healeys which were proudly displayed in their usual spot. Apparently, the woman, who's name I learned was Angela Churchill, is a model and an actress and was hoping to find a vintage car that she could use for some promotional shots. I agreed and a couple of days later my wife and I drove our 62 BN7 over to the photo shoot. We were there for a couple of hours and we were really impressed with the photographer and the results he achieved.

Higher maintenance than a Healey...

I should have just gone with the truth; can you imagine the conversation :

"Honey, I not going to be home for dinner because this amazingly beautiful woman asked me to stop by her place for a couple of hours."

She would have taken one look at me, laughed and then said, "you go ahead honey, but I better not find out that your hanging out with your buddies at some tech session. In either case take your shoes off before you come in the house!"

The photographer did send me a black and white of my Healey

Presume you repainted the coves and re-upholstered the interior to match her lipstick?
