Thanks to Henry Behrens for excellent photos. Here's TD we posted from Maine a while back. More links in that post.

Nissan Patrol. Blue Hill, Maine.

We've posted only one other Nissan Patrol and that was up on Prince Edward Island. They were sold around the world starting in 1951 but I don't think they ever made it to the US market. They look lightweight and agile, far better off-roaders that the current Land Rover and other slugmobiles. We suspect they're a lot more dependable than any Land Rover.

1959 Ford Panel Truck. Penobscot, Maine.
The day we were there, Mr Berzini, 81, and his grandson were hoisting a rebuilt motor into a 1965 Ford Galaxy convertible.

Elvis Bought a (1956?) Continental
Thanks to Stephen Hendrickson for the photo. Then Lincolns got breathtakingly ugly, before they became handsome again, as with this 1963 Continental, kind of an anti-Cadillac...and then again went over-several-tops with this 1976 Mark IV Givenchy edition.

1953 Chevrolet. Brooklin, Maine.
We believe the Chevy is from Deer Isle, and likely done by the same talented person who did this Plymouth Suburban wagon a while back. We admire a wildly restrained aesthetic.
