Love isn’t just for Subaru, a dying breed & trains

Subaru seems to have the “love” market cornered these days, but that wasn’t always the case, as evident in these 4 “love-related” vintage ads….

(The 4 old ads featured Tuesday had friends, help & service in mind; to see ‘em, visit the home page & choose “Automotive Daily” from the drop down menu on the right-hand side!)

 

Speaking of love, I’m not alone in enjoying evenings by fires … or am I part of a dying breed!?

Finally, I’ve never taken a train cross country, but maybe someday.  Anyone else love old train cars, like this one, as well?

I can tell you from personal experience that private rail car across the US is one of the most amazing experiences in a life time and very relaxing.

 

My wife and I was taken on a trip from Seattle to Chicago and onto NY on the Scottish Thistle Private Rail Car.

 

Just recently sold but still available for private excursions.

A review of the Thistle and lots of pictures.

I had the pleasure of going on this by a friend named Jerome.
