Classic Car Watches

What Henry Ford did for the manufacturing of automobiles, a man named Harley Earl did for automobile design.  Earl worked for General Motors, and was the designer behind the innovative sports cars of the 1950s.  Perhaps Earl’s most renowned project was the Chevrolet Corvette, named after a small but maneuverable fighting frigate.  The corvette project was nearly canned by GM prior to the release of their first V8 engine.  The new engine coupled with other new technologies allowed the corvette to transformfrom an impractical sports car to a true performer. 

Today the corvette has become a symbol of speed, power, and wealth, and sports a full line of products and paraphernalia including stationary, towels, clothing apparel, and even timepieces like watches and the Corvette clock.

When my son was about three years old he saw the Neverending Story on television.  As the movie was marketed towards children, I didn’t think anything of it.  But for some reason he was afraid of the flying white dog from the movie.  For a few days he would wake up in the middle of the night and cry.  He had a nightlight, but after the fourth or fifth night I took my neon clock out of the guest room and put it on his wall. 

I’m not sure what I hoped to change, but after that he stopped waking up and crying.  My son is six now, and he won’t let me take it away.
