you destroy what you touch?

another missive from b1-67er.

***

The Automotive Fascist's dad, who was also a big car freak, once told me he believed that skin oil (and other things on the hands) was the biggest destroyer of dashes and upholstery on cars (aside from the sun).

The attached picture is of a hole in the top of the passenger seat on the Galaxie -- where my hand rests when I drive one handed.



[note: this car has since undergone extensive restoration ... can't wait to see it ... it's the chromatic inverse of the continual car: white body, blue roof.]
