Once upon a time, there was a beauty called Mercedes. She immigrated from a cold country called Germany decades ago and worked very hard under the relentless Lebanese sun for many years. This eventually made her very tired…

Back in mid-April, my friend Hanna sent a couple of pictures of a Honda Accord with strong patina from Beirut. While staying there for three months, she told me she had more and more fun looking for interesting vehicles to capture. As a thank you, I am going to feature some of them here at Drive-by Snapshots. This time around, it’s a large barge from the past: a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. The color combination of the Cadillac nicely ties with the country it lives in: green resembling the cedar trees (also featured in the national flag), and beige representing the desert. The rust spots add patina and may just as well resemble the salty air from the sea, if you don’t mind 😉
