Dad's 'classic car' puzzle - Wow! That was a hard puzzle!

Lisa gave dad this puzzle for Christmas 2009 last year. It has 1,000 pieces. Since Lisa has been visiting with us we have put together 3 puzzles, dad's being the latest. I thought that last puzzle with the ceramic looking tiles with the flowers was tough. But this one was challenging. The first picture was taken off a website. The picture below is proof that we actually put it together! You would have thought that having blue, red, orange, brown, etc. cars would be no problem, right? Well that was misleading to say the least! There were so many different shades and rust and hues that it took us '3' days to finish this one! We put the frame and sky and ground together first and then filled in the rest of the puzzle. We had a sense of achievement when we finished it! Lisa said she's ready to take on an easy one. Of course, no less than 1,000 pieces! :o)

I'm not ashamed to say it, I LOVE PUZZLES!
That's right, I said Love!

Oh, I should also point out that mom is too nice to say it, but I am a TOTAL box hog, and she does all the hardest and most dedicated sorting:)
