The Salesman & the '64 Rambler: The Last Ride

Autoliterate: "I remember that chrome salesman marching off to work on the Rambler. Do you have a photograph of him on the car?"

AE: "Frayed knot , Peter. I'll send you a shot of it's last voyage ...being towed by Blake out to the compound [in Banff]. It wasn't running or registered and the place where I had been storing it kicked me out ...I was broke and decided to let it go. That was a mistake, but we all live with a few regrets. Wish I still had it. I had just removed the ornament."
