My Bentley

"1957 Bentley"

I am not a huge car buff. But I do like beautiful cars, particularly older ones that display class and style.

I was walking up Broadway in downtown Portland, OR one evening this April. The evening was just lovely; sun shining, warm air for Portland in April, and the streets were filled with people enjoying a rare moisture-free Oregon evening. I came across this 1957 Bentley parked curbside in front of a little boutique hotel that was holding a formal event. Of course, I talked to the driver and had to take a few photographs. The image above was my favorite.

The limousine company that owns this piece of art is English Classic Limousines (http://www.englishclassiclimos.com/). What an experience to tour the Oregon wine country in a car such as this. And then perhaps go to a dinner and show in downtown Portland. What a lovely date that would be!

What would be your ideal, romantic date? If you are in Portland, perhaps give a call to English Classic Limousines. I am sure they will fix you up.

Cheers,
Dale

Here's a great photo. It's quite minimalistic, but it has a lot of angst in it. I guess this angst comes natural when you have a Bentley.
