Pony Express Hood Ornament
ByOn a rainy day recently I visited MacNeil’s Pony Express statue in Saint Joseph, Missouri. I took numerous photos. After posting about a half a dozen, I realized that I omitted one rather light-hearted composition from that drizzly photo session. It shows the horse and rider as an over-sized hood ornament on my 1939 LaSalle sedan.
NOTE: No ponies, Express Riders or LaSalles were injured in the making of this picture. No disrespect for the City of St. Joe, the Pony Express, the people of Missouri, the Cadillac Motor Division of General Motors (manufacturer of LaSalle automobiles from 1923 to 1940), or any other persons (living or deceased) is intended in the making of this picture. It was just a twitch of the finger that seemed a good idea at the time (just as posting it on a Wednesday evening at 10PM right now feels like the right thing to do! )
