Aw - - It Was The Biggest One I Ever Had!

Tis the end of the weekend, and the end of the first tale of The Enchanted Flivver, from Capt. Frank Moss and Frank Borth. This time we've got three chapters to conclude our story...




Definitely a story from another time. 

There were two more tales - The Return Of The Enchanted Flivver and Where's Henrietta? If my peripatetic mind cooperates, we'll touch on that third one this week, and why i chose this story to run currently.

Meanwhile, i've been digging through those old piles and i suspect we'll spend much of this week visiting with old friends from previous posts.

But, i'm rambling and so - i'm off!
(but you knew that)

Stand By For The Feature Attraction This Afternoon

If you've been reading along this week, you know that we've been serializing the first tale of The Enchanted Flivver from Captain Frank T. Moss and Frank Borth. (If you haven't been reading along, you might want to go back and read the first four posts in this series.)

If you're all caught up, let's join Bobby & Henrietta at the air show...




As the caption said, to be continued (and concluded) ... tomorrow.

Does This Machine Have A License To Fly?

Welcome back for another chapter of The Enchanted Flivver from Capt. Frank T. Moss and Frank Borth. As we saw last time, Bobby has learned to control Henrietta, and now he's ready to show off what she can do...



On to our next chapter! We're doubling up so we'll finish the story on Sunday...



Well, yes - of course it's continued tomorrow.

I've Just Had A Blious Attack!

Let's get right into the next chapter of The Enchanted Flivver, from Capt. Frank T. Moss and Frank Borth. Those of you who may have missed the previous two chapters might want to catch up first.

For the rest of us, off we go...

He's Gobig To Blasht Off!

On her second outing, Henrietta - The Enchanted Flivver - starred on the cover of Treasure Chest Of Fun & Fact -

I can't be certain, but i'm pretty sure that grumpy sedan looking up at Henrietta later showed up in Cars. (I could be deranged)

As we saw last time, Bobby Lane received an old flivver from his Uncle, and restored the car to running order. On his first trip out the car acted up something fierce... it jumped over a tree laying across the road!

Let's see what Capt. Frank T. Moss and Frank Borth have in store for us in the second chapter...


I love that she stops in mid-air for the traffic light. She'll break the laws of gravity, but not traffic. Or maybe it was Bobby's influence?

We'll see how things develop in chapter 3.
