When we met Pearl, she had 1 foot (ok, almost 2 feet) in the grave. The trip back to Richmond from Upstate NY was a real nail-biter. We had to race the clock since she had no lights and we needed to be home before dark. But we had to take it slow because her tires wouldn't hold air. And we had to keep an eye on the rear-view mirror because she was attached to the hitch with zip ties. When we got her in the driveway, our kids rolled their eyes and walked back in the house thinking we finally lost our marbles. Even the dog wouldn't step foot inside her.

A year later, she was completely redone, inside and out, in a mid-century modern look that is fresh yet true to her roots. She is absolutely darling and will be the hit of your event or photo shoot. She brings out the best in in people. Folks get very nostalgic around her. They share childhood memories and pledge to finally take the trips they never seem to take. Pearl is an inspiration and the breath of fresh air we all need right now.
