I was looking for some old Elvis Presley photos online when his big sunglasses caught my attention. Sunglasses during the 70’s have never been forgotten. Until now, people are still using vintage sunglasses design for fashion and I would say it looks good. Some of them have heart shape and some are too big with spotted design. These are designs and fashion lasting for a lifetime. Things that can be used over and over again even with new sunglasses, concepts and designs out in the market every year. Vintage sunglasses are still there to remain.

When I told my cousin to share some of her photos for my postings on “Panaad Sa Negros,” She laughed but admittedly hesitant because she thought she looked big and fat in her photos. She told me to just choose pictures where she looked slim. I told her that’s almost saying that I don’t post any one of those :-) Certainly it’s time for her to try Phentermine no prescription alternative because it is approved as an appetite suppressant to help reduce weight in obese patients when used short-term and combined with exercise, diet, and behavioral modification. Had she opted for it long before, I could have used her photos for my posts by now.

I was searching for the old Buick model car that I saw in the recent 2008 Trans Sport Show. Having to find out because my digital camera don’t focus that good enough unlike DSLR camera that I have before so I have a little blurry photos of it. Thanks that in my searching I was able to find Don Bagsit Multiply website where I was amazed about the entire picture he took during the 2008 Trans Sport Show. He also permitted me to use some of them for my future post.

I like vintage cars so much and if I have enough money, I will collect some more of it too. So one of the cars that captured me during the Car Show was the Buick Eight but I am not sure if the model displayed there is the 1952 Buick Eight Sedan because what I know the Buick Eight series model started in 1931 - 35. (Correct me if I’m wrong).

According to Wikipedia Buick originated as an independent motor car manufacturer, the Buick Motor Company, incorporated on May 19, 1903 by the Scottish-American David Dunbar Buick (who invented the overhead valve engine on which the company’s success was based) in Detroit, Michigan. Later that year, the struggling company was taken over by James H. Whiting (1842-1919), who moved it to his hometown of Flint, Michigan and brought in William C. Durant in 1904 to manage his new acquisition. Buick sold his stock for a small sum upon departure, and died in modest circumstances twenty-five years later.

Durant was a natural, and Buick soon became the largest car maker in America. Using the profits from this, Durant embarked on a series of corporate acquisitions, calling the new mega-corporation General Motors.

Now Buick is a marquee of automobile only sold in the United States, Canada, China, Taiwan, and Israel by General Motors Corporation. The name is pronounced /ˈbjuːɪk/. Since the demise of Oldsmobile in 2004, it is GM’s only North America-based entry-level luxury brand.

So lucky if we can have Buick car now in the Philippines. Maybe if you have a lot of money and friends inside Bureau of Customs (but only if rumors are true) we might be able to obtain smuggled ones.

My wife has been asking me to visit Vigan ilocos Sur in order to see the old heritage houses there and those beautiful places in Ilocos. I told her it’s really far, and that maybe I could bring her to Silay City instead of Vigan.

I remember when we were having our hospital duty at Silay General Hospital during my college nursing days at Colegio de San Agustin – Bacolod, we had to wake up early because Manong will leave at 6 am. He was our driver for almost three years of hospital duties for both morning and night duties where we had to attend almost more than 10 birth deliveries a night back then.

Of these moments, what I will never forget was when we were having our last duty in Silay. Manong toured us for free in all of those old houses in Silay. He served as our tourist guide. This houses were densely concentrated and you can easily walk from one to the other. Some remain in private hands with the people living there quite literally living in the past. These may be closed to the public, but there are many that are open and a stroll around the city will bring you face to face with history.

Worthy of note was the home of rich and famous people before like Victor Gaston, son of a French sugar baron who settled in the Philippines. Bernardino Jalandoni who built a museum in 1908, Vicente Conlu Montelibano’s house, Maria Ledesma Golez’ house which has been converted to the Silay branch of RCBC bank, while the Angel Araneta Ledesma house, also known as the “Green House”, is currently used as the Silay culture and tourism offices. and Kapitan Mariano Montelibano Lacson’s house.

I also remember Manong brought us to the known haunted house in Silay. I don’t if it’s true though. Neverthless, I wish I could bring my family also in Silay someday.

I was searching for a website about vintage car models displayed in the recent 2008 Trans Sport Show when I happened to passed by an old forum where there is a photo of 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.

I remember my beloved grandfather told me a story about the car he was driving before, and always heard from him about the Impala, being born in 75’s and living in a province I never saw an old car. The only vehicle I remember then was original Jeep Wrangler and Jeepney, just wondering what Impala and just found out that from 1958 until 1965, the Impala was Chevrolet’s most expensive full-size car.

Just followed by the mid-range Chevy Bel Air, Bel Airs are among the most recognizable American cars of all time. The Chevrolet Bel Air is an automobile series produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors from 1953-75. From 1950-52, hardtops in Chevrolet’s premium deluxe model range was designated with the Bel Air name, but it was not a distinct series of its own.

Now Bel Air is highly sought after by enthusiasts. Roomy, fuel-efficient, and with tastefully restrained use of tail fins and chrome, they are seen by many as vastly superior to the oversized and over-decorated full-size models. I wonder if there are still Chevy Bel Air cars being rebuilt or revived as of the present time.

I was shocked and fascinated when I saw the recent 2008 Trans Sport Show showcasing timeless cars which I and my son attended last week. Imagine only 2,048 units were manufactured and maybe distributed world wide. I never thought we have that in the Philippines.

Think about this: prformance muscle car from 1967 Mercury Cougar tail light panel minus the chrome trim, a flip-up spoiler, and two sets of air scoops on each side. This was also the first American car to feature a factory roll bar.

Another is a series of Ford Mustangs specially modified by Carroll Shelby’s company and sold as a series. A 428-in³ (7 L) big-block V8 pumping out well over 350 bhp where the early Shelby Mustangs were very competition oriented This is also one of the most famous Shelby Mustangs. A modified GT500 clone, known as “Eleanor“, was featured alongside Nicholas Cage in the 2000 remake of Gone in 60 Seconds.
