2 Saskatchewan Chevrolets and the Maine Dodge

Summer has happened. We are deep into it, and have been book-touring The O'Briens in Canada (please check the events schedule; maybe we'll see you along the way!)  We have kept an eye out for interesting vehicles, and have received field reports from correspondants in Saskatchewan and Southern California.
            Alex Emond recently visited Jack's Cafe in Eastend, Sask., which Autoliterate reported on in an earlier post. We are very glad to hear the place is still going strong. Next time you're crossing the plains of southern Saskatchewan on Hwy 13, time your route so you do breakfast chez Jack. When I was last there, they were still curing their own bacon.
AE caught this 1927 Chevrolet roadster in Ponteix, Sask. Her owner told him she purrs like a kitten.
Also in Ponteix, a very clean 1968 Ford F-100 Custom.
Looks like a quiet town.
Alex found a very clean 1958 Chevrolet for sale in Aneroid, Sask.
An original Saskatchewan truck!

And from the other side of the continent: driving the back roads from Montreal home to Maine, Autoliterate caught this 1950 Dodge in W. Sumner, Maine. It looks like a very-nearly-original car, in excellent shape, though the parking brake was perhaps untrustworthy, which is why a rock was wedged in front of the driver's-side-rear tire.
