Buick Electra 225






 
As I drove into the Bartell Pharmacy parking lot I saw this really cool old car. I wasn't sure of the make and model because it was a little unusual. 
I thought it was from the 60's. The thing that struck me was it was "mint."
I looked at it again and thought, yep that's cool, then wondered, who drives that car?
As I was leaving I saw an elderly man holding on to an empty shopping cart.
He had this look on his face that, I'm not sure I can describe but it made me stop and say,

"Sir is there some way I can assist you?"
He nodded.
"I was trying to get this cart back. But my legs they're not so steady."
"Don't you worry about that cart. Let's just get you to your car. It 's that one right there isn't it?"

He nodded again.
We took our time getting there.
It wasn't far.
Sometimes you can do something for someone else and it can make YOUR day.



Saw his car again today a couple of months later and took this picture.

I didn't see him but I was glad to know he, and his Buick Electra 225, are still tooling around town.
