Femme 1 sends us our item of the day – coincidentally, from reader Ronn Ives’ shop, Futures Antiques. Femme1 says:
I’ve just been looking online at some of the older furniture sites I used to check. You might like this sofa. This is a great site–Futures– and the guy who runs it has been around a long time.
Thanks, Femme1: Here’s Ronn’s listing along with the link…this is indeed a beauty!:

Wonderful mid century modern sofa, new – today’s extra ebay pick 
I do love this sofa. Something about it just reminds me of a big old Buick…maybe even a classic Crystler Imperial.
Hi,
Ronn Ives here. Funny you should say that. I used to have an antique Buick. Anyhow, a few days ago I put the sofa into storage to make room in my shop for other newer-older things. This happens. If anyone wants to see it, we’ll need to make an appt., although the photo and my description are reasonable.
Just let me know! Thanks.
Gorgeous!
