1959 Ford Anglia. Banff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond: This is an English Ford, but it has left hand drive. Made for export. Has a stick shift. Very compact, reminding us that cars and trucks have just kept on getting bigger . Back then people weren't quite as corpulent, or tall. Every generation ratchets up a notch. This car is out at Johnston's Canyon, in front of the old filling station–they used to sell gas but now the little building is the office for people  renting cabins. No license plate  but it looks to be in perfect shape. An odd, cool-looking little car.

AL: Canada imported lot of English cars until the 1970s and the Datsun 510. We remember lots of Angliae in Montreal. See out post on the 1948 Standard Vanguard.

1994 Ford Ranger wheelbarrow. Huerfano County, Colorado.

 

From Michael Moore: A wheelbarrow Ford Ranger bought new in 1994; 234,700 miles as of 08 04 2026 . Belongs ot our good friend and neighbor Bill Haynes, who says it’s showing signs of needing a transmission plus making weird noises on rough terrain…driven every day as needed, nonetheless.

c.1965 Ford Mustang convertible. Blue Hill, Maine.

British Land Rover Defender TDI. Los Angeles

 

c. 1985 Chevrolet Caprice station wagon. Redcliff, Alberta.

 

From Alex Emond:  "This sunburnt wagon was in Redcliff, Alberta. I  owned a similar one... mine was blue, with the faux woodgrain vinyl . I loved it as a bear-proof bed in Banff. It had room for gear, like a bicycle, and the longroof was good for the Klepper Kayak. I eventually sold mine to Japanese snowboarders. They'd probably never driven anything that big before. Almost as big as the grins on their faces as they drove away. They paid me $700."

AL: We posted a Mercury Colony Park wagon, same era, a while back. And the Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser is one of our favorite wagons.
