One Year Later- Palm Springs Automobilist Facebook Page Has First Anniversary

 Quite a little milestone for us as the Palm Springs Automobilist Facebook Page went live one year ago today. In that year, we've had over 5,700 fans join our merry band, shared over 3,300 cool photos, and grown to the point where our posts reach over 100,000 people weekly.

To commemorate, we're sharing our first live photo above- it's the special gold painted 1956 Eldorado Biarritz from "The Solid Gold Cadillac" starring Judy Holliday. It got us rolling on May 6, 2012, and we've been far too busy to look back.

This 1959 Chevrolet advertisement was our first cover photo. It's an awesome photo that shows the amazing depth of Chevy's product line for '59. Except for the Corvette- all of the entries are based on the all new '59 Full Sized Chevrolet, even the brand new El Camino, and who doesn't love the bat winged Chevrolet madly? Our folks sure seem to.

And here's our top photo of the year. Of the 3,300 plus photos last year, this lovely portrait of Annette Funicello with her candy custom painted '57 Thunderbird was our most liked and shared. A great tribute to a lovely lady.

We've got the rest of the top 10 photos of the year and lots more over on the Palm Springs Automobilist Facebook Page. We hope that you enkoyed the year as much as we did and look forward to more!

'59 El Camino- Photo of the Week

Photo of the week this week is this impeccibly restored 1959 Chevy El Camino on display at the GM Heritage Center near Detroit. From its impeccible two tone Aspen Green and white finish to its period correct wheel covers with blackwalls, this photo which I snapped in July of 2010 seemed to catch a lot of eyes. Here it is along with three others of the same El Camino. Be sure and stop by our Facebook Page and see new pictures daily.
