There's No Place Like Chrome

One day last week when I drove back from work, I followed a brand-new Chevy Malibu. I think it was a rental car and was all white. The rear seemed frighteningly bare with just square-edged sheet metal and several very non-descript taillight lenses.

Chrome has been retro so long that it is definitely time for its automotive renaissance.


Our Royal City Show & Shine is on for the weekend of July 10th and 11th. Columbia Street is closed off and hundreds of vintage vehicles arrive. Then, thousands of people arrive to look at them. One will have an opportunity to pay respect to the unabashed and copious use of chrome.
