Just what does waxing nostalgic mean . . .
. . . an old 1950's Chevrolet Bel Air with a hood ornament or as we used to say "Chevy"
. . . a faded red 1960's Plymouth Belevdere
. . . an old Dodge truck
. . . an old 1960's Ford Galaxie 500
. . . old style logos and graphics from by gone days
. . . and least it slips our minds, the 1930's Ford Police Utility Wagon or as it reads, "Paddy Wagon"
I hope you enjoyed this trip down memory lane as I was waxing nostalgic this evening and couldn't resist the urge to throw up some images from my trek to Old Car City in Cartersville, Georgia, from last August's trip. What a unique and remarkable place. I would love to go back some time. Hope you are all well. It's a tad warm here in middle Tennessee with temps in the upper 90's. ENJOY!
To wax in this instance is to grow (as the moon does when it isn't waning).
The word is related to the German "wachsen" meaning much the same.
Nostalgic originally meant homesick, but now generally refers to a longing for bygone days.
In other words "having an increasing longing for times past".
