Lubbock Architecture's 1970 Plymouth & Llano Estacado


Over the last year or so I've done a few Autoliterate posts on Llano Estacado. So you know I'm obsessed with that West Texas/eastern New Mexico high plains region. One way of working through an obsession is writing a novel. My third novel "Karin"-- which will be out in Fall 2015 in US & Canada --is a Llano Novel (though mostly set in Frankfurt Germany in the 1930s). Some key chapters happen in and just west of Lubbock. If you're wondering about the connection between nazified Frankfurt and West Texas, check this post.
I'm trying to ID this car: I'd say Plymouth Fury III, 1970. Stylish machine. That avacado-ish green was the tone poem of the Seventies. My Maine/Marfa truck is painted in a close but slightly different  shade. Track the Plymouth on Lubbock Architecture's Facebook page. (My novel also happens to feature a Plymouth out on the Llano).

  1. Its a 1969 Fury. The first year of the fuselage style. And tell that person to get off the hood! It ain't a couch!
