C. 1980 Lincoln Mark VI. Manchester, New Hampshire.

 

Reid Cunningham photos. Another Manchester NH find, and the well-waxed paintwork and bright sun created more glare than my phone could accommodate, but this find was a delight. Note the padded roof, oval opera windows, and more.  The Lincoln Marks were perhaps the ultimate 'personal luxury coupe', an auto genre that started in the 1970s with the Chevrolet Monte Carlo.  (AL: here's a '71 Monte Carlo we caught in California last Spring.)

1967 Ford Galaxie sedan. Boscawan, New Hampshire.

From Reid Cunningham: "At a repair garage in Boscawan NH, this 1967 Galaxy.  I am not sure the orange paint is the original color, but it looks good with the white roof.  Most four-doors left the factory with mundane engines, but this one sports the 390!"  

We caught a 1967 Galaxie XL500 on Deer Isle, Maine last month.

Classic wooden Maine inshore lobster boat. Many of these used to have gasoline engines.  Nova Scotia boats (Novi's) are stouter to manage their open North Atlantic fishing ground . 

Yard Dogs. Marfa, Texas.

It's a good week to be in Texas. That look like a c.1990 Dodge Ram. Below, a c. 1983 Chevrolet C10, and then a c.1969 Dodge Charger.  All glowing in rain that's been making the desert green this November week.

It has been a beautiful autumn in Brooklin. The northwest blows down Eggemoggin Reach this time of year and Center Harbor, open to the NW, has been rocking with 20-25kt winds. Most boats have been hauled. Not all. See the catboat below. And that yawl on the flat. And that old Marfan GMC, on the hard.  We like the BBY's work truck because it is a hard worker. We don't like beefcake trucks that are all pose, no purpose. See the overburdened Tacoma! at the bottom of this post.
