Savvy elementary school girl, 10, earns enough money wielding homemade crafts to buy her dream car

[EC]

A business-savvy 10-year-old girl was able to buy her dream car, a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, by selling homemade arts and crafts.

Ashlin Albright, of Seagrove, North Carolina, fell in love with the car when she began designing invitations for a 1950's themed birthday party.

After a year of making home and garden decor from discarded materials, Ashlin made enough money, with some help from her parents, to buy the teal blue beauty - which she's named Ethel.

Her mother Nina Albright described her daughter as an 'old soul'.

According to Nina, when Ashlin got the idea to get the car, she told her to 'make a few things' and see what happened.

'I thought it was going to take years and years for her to accomplish this goal and it didn't,' Nina said.

What did she do? Threaten to beat people with her crafts if they didn't give her their wallets?

Don't knock it - it worked.

I thought this girl was a genius until I saw the '55 in question...



It has 2 too many doors which makes it worth less than a 89 Caprice Brougham.

That's a nice car!  But, then I like Saturns....
