from Alex Emond: "Another Swift Current showboat, a 1960 Meteor. This might be what was called a Rideau 500 which was made at the Ford factory in Ontario. That is quite the crazy flourish of chrome across the front door . Land yacht, par excellance."-AE
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

The Meteor and Monarch were really cool cars. I live in the southern part of the US and had never even heard of these cars until the last 10 years. They fascinate me and I've learned everything I can about them.
ReplyDeleteA Rideau, but not a Rideau 500, which would have even more chrome — a Rideau 500 badge on the front door, and a panel across the back between the taillights.
