State presidents and almost everyone else used to drive this old beauty.
This is a Model T Ford and I also have a nice old Royal Enfield bike to show you in here.
I have a good friend on hive whose name is Lady #lizzie aka #silver-blond-lizzie of the #silverbloggers fame and my reason for stating this will soon be revealed. These vehicles are not at a car show, as they are in regular use on our roads in town. Quite often we see them and also other classics driving around and I have posted a few of them before.
Just a bit of a humorist comparison between these classics and us as old people.
Lovely firm leather coated seats and some of us can do with an uplift of our sagging seats :)
A good comparison here as we are also neat and simple.
We all love a comfortable couch.
Have a look at the right rear mudguard to see the name of this car.
Yep! Lady Lizzie. They say that as we age, then sooner or later we will also become classics, but I doubt that we will be in such a pristine condition as these old vehicles are :)
Genuine wooden wheel spokes on its feet and our human feet wish that they had seen better times.
How is this for a lamp?
Nice eyes and our eyes are misty and hazy.
Just good looking all over and no comment about our looks here :)
And finally, this is an old Ford Model Tractor version. This looks a bit more like we look these days :)
You can see and read more about the Ford Model T in this link.

Here below is the Royal Enfield bike.
Read all about the Royal Enfield bikes here.

These old bikes are World War II heroes.
Just a lovely shadow shot.
I have a friend in the city of Cape Town that owns a Royal Enfield agency and they rent their bikes out to tourists and travelers to explore the cape winelands. They also have sidecars on some of the bikes and bike drivers to take people around that do not have bike driving licenses. As the passengers in the sidecars are not driving, they are free to do as many wine tastings as they like, and I think that some can get hilariously funny in a slow sidecar when they have had too many wine tastings. Hitting the bumps in a side car, and a queasy stomach doesn't go well on an open road:)
I hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
And That's All Friends.

!LOL
!LOL is all that I can say to this.

Very nice!

!LOL
that looks so beautiful lizzie, design and the seat leadher looks so beautiful ❤️😍
Thank you and although they are very old, they are still in tip-top condition !LOL
Lovely story line, gorgeous wheels still on the road, most definitely made to last unlike the modern cars.
Thank you and it just shows what love can do, as that car has seen a lot of loving care.
I don't think that any modern car would ever get that old !LOLZ
Nurture anything it will return rewards, forget to spit and polish, you lose in the long run, such is life !LOLZ
Absolutely correct, and totally agreed, but nurturing and all that goes with it, is simply ignored as deep pockets of luxury are more important.
!LOLZ
Some exceptionally rich other merely a deep love for the antiques, bought years ago and lovingly looked after.
Those who simply buy to own I am sure do not obtain the same pleasure compared to the ardent collector who may not have deep pockets.
Same as it is all over the world my friend !LOLZ
The ardent collector takes more pleasure from it, as their ownership creates more care for the items that they love.
Thanks for being a supporter of The LOLZ Project.
Have a wonderful day, bit warmer here back to shorts and slip-slops 😄
!LUV it!

I'm sure you have a lot of rich and influential people in your area and that's why you can see these cars everywhere...
The best thing I love about the car is the sit...lol
The chair looks so comfy
Not so, as people come here to retire and many of the old guys still have their old original cars.
That seat is indeed very comfortable, like sitting in a mobile lounge :)
!WINEX
Haha @papilloncharity, just what I needed today. Lady Lizzie looks really good, wish I still had a firm seat like that, definitely need a makeover😂
Ain't she cute😉
Told ya that I have something nice for you 😇
Not to worry about your seat as we are all starting to feel our age.
People are starting to ask me for the secret of my diet, as I am all skin and bone now. I have enough empty skin to cover another body 🤣 !LOL
She is really a beaut and so are you 😊
Hahaha Zac, that's a good one!
You are very kind, I don't have much skin to give away, it's well-filled :):)
Just joking milady and trying to get a smile, as you are going through a hard time with the hubby's health and all. In our prayers, always.

Good ol T must enjoy today's roads and streets compared to the ones it was designed for xD
Oh yes, it has certainly come a long way and I like how it was cared for all of these years!
!LOLZ
Hha I bet a Tesla won't last that long
Sadly, I have to agree as lately almost everything is plastic and lightweight materials.
