My best friend Sam and I are having our annual Christmas sweater party tonight. Our tradition during the party is to drink nothing but 40's. In our neck of the woods, 40's are hard to come by so that means we have to travel a bit north in St. Louis so get the good stuff.

The liquor store we went to was just down the road from the Daniel Schmitt & Co. Luxury Car Gallery. Quite a name. I'd never been in before so we decided to stop in and take some potato pictures for you guys. Enjoy.

I would have taken more pictures, but we were pressed for time. I was shooting with my Nexus 5, so pardon the poo poo quality. I'll most likely be back with my real camera in a few weeks and I plan on shooting every.single.car.

Hey you we're in my neck of the woods! That's on Lindbergh down from where Northwest Plaza is/used to be. I recognized the T/A out front.

Yep, right off Lindbergh! You ever been in there? Definitely worth a look if you've got some free time.

One of the earlier appearances of the dread stamped-metal "wood" comedy on Ford wagons. Gotta love it, though.

I always want to stop, but have this fear of walking in and getting yelled at for some reason. I might have to go tomorrow.

I wish I could tell the difference between a '55 and a '56, but more pics of this, please. PACKARD PACKARD PACKARD

There were only ~500 of these verts made in '55, and probably fewer in '56.

They're actually really nice folks. Didn't expect them to be, but I pulled up in the 240 so they knew I was there cause I loved cars.

I'd never seen an Edsel in person before. Really cool car!

Ya I know. Three separate buildings stuffed to the gills with classics. It was heaven.

That's just ridiculous!!! Surprised they just let you guys in there w/o an appointment or something...awesome score! Pics are great.

Also...I want pics of the 40s you guys picked up too because I'm craving some malt liquor!!!!

Haha good eye with the Packard!

Yep we just walked in like it was no big deal! I pulled up in my 240Z so they knew I was serious about looking at the cars. One of the employees actually struck up a convo with me about the Z so it was nice talking to another enthusiast about it.

I'll get you a picture of the 40's later when they are being consumed haha I'm currently at work

Have you been to fast lane at I-370&MO94?

Never been in there but drive by it all the time. Further down Lindbergh on other side is a Porsche place, kind of set back.

The color of that XKE is perfect. If you order a brand-new Porsche 911 and have about five thousand dollars burning a hole in your pocket, you can get them to ship it to you painted any custom color you specify, and that right there is the color I want on mine (post-Lottery win that is).

Yeah, buddy. Have fun.

Yep, I've been to Fast Lane, but it was years ago. Probably 10 years since I've been, now that I think of it. Stop in this place sometime if you've got time to kill. Definitely worth a look around and it won't disappoint!

Didn't catch the year! They also had a red one and one in BRG. Truly gorgeous cars.
