1947 Dodge COE

Between paragraphs of the novel I gave myself 45 minutes to bike around the Patty Jewett neighborhood here in Colorado Springs. PJ-the-'hood is adjacent to the Patty Jewett Golf Course,"Third oldest public golf course west of the Mississippi." There's a bunch of AL posts on houses and streets in this district, including Franklin Street, Yampa Street. and Monument Street. And a bunch of intriguing vehicles including this 1947 Dodge COE. Needs work, but very beautiful in its blunt postwar style. Machines like this--trucks that look like trucks, not cartoons of trucks--speak to a time when things were actually made in the USA. One of these was for sale last year on the H.A.M.B.
