Emphasis Preaching Journal

I vividly remember, as a boy, standing outside the large display windows of the automobile dealers when the new cars were about to be shown.

For a couple of weeks, the brand new models were actually in the showrooms but were completely covered with large khaki-colored sheets. Both children and adults would try to imagine the shapes of the cars, the grills, the styles of fenders, headlights, etc. There was also exciting speculation about new pastel colors and combinations of two-tone paintings. The abundance of chrome was another major discussion point.
