1960 El Camino, Colorado Springs


 I met the El Camino on a Sunday morning in Colorado Springs. I was heading into my office at Colorado College to work on revisions of novel #3. It was bright morning. I knew I'd catch a cool car, and I did. I saw the EC on Colorado Boulevard, waved frantically, and the owner, Bob Fling, a car guy, was willing to pull over. He did the car himself, 17 years ago. Bob has a few more and I hope to see them.
