but what model?
This year – EVERY year – Lou Ella needs a new car. Something chic and expensive.
Thank goodness I was given a copy of My Cool Classic Car for Christmas, so I can browse at great length…
Will it be a Porsche?
Or a Chevrolet Corvette V8 Speedster? Yes that IS a pink and red dashboard and steering wheel…
Or a 1961 Mercedes Roadster?
Or something else completely. All suggestions from fellow car-fans gratefully received.
And one last thing…
should she keep her little umbrella?
Well, a red dashboard? Surely Lou-Ella just HAS to have that one?? The umbrella simply must co-ordinate, it should stay for sure … but maybe with few subtle changes?
Can’t wait to see it!!
Thanks so much for calling by Emma, how lovely to see you here!
I LOVE your comments – a Corvette with red dashboard and new coordinating umbrella is pulling out ahead in my imagination. TOOT TOOT!
Graeme suggests an E type Jag as a different looking make, or a Lotus Elan.
Hello Anne! Ah, bliss… what good taste Graeme has. When you sell the movie rights to your book, will you buy him one (or both?) x
How we love Lou Ella! On Twitter I kept thinking of classy brit stuff but love the idea of the Corvette (that is such a fabulous looking car, definitely Lou Ella!)
The Lotus Super Seven is a beast, but if Lou’s allowed to cross the pond and import something exotic how about a Ford Thunderbird (I always loved the downward sweep above the headlights – like a mean frown!) http://www.paulfrasercollectibles.com/upload/public/docimages/Image/p/r/w/IMAGE%20400%20car_1_58164-1.jpg
Or even more exotic. Gotta love italian design…the Alfa Romeo 6C – a real 1950s pocket rocket

I KNEW you’d be the person to ask! What marvellous motors you have suggested…
ooh yes, as it’s impossible not to see the headlights as the eyes that Ford Thunderbird really does frown. And the Alfa Romeo is so fancy and so shiny I know she would adore it.
Delicious! x
Loved the latest email update and genuinely laughed out loud when I saw the Allegro. Lou Ella would definitely NOT be impressed 🙂
Thank you! Your comment made me laugh too… perhaps she should be demoted to a Hillman Imp if she misbehaves…?
