1965 Plymouth Valiant, and Maggie Nelson.

 Valiants were humble cars but there is something about a machine that's still ticking and still roadworthy 52-odd years later. Saw this are in Santa Barbara. Love the blue.

“I want you to know, if you ever read this, there was a time when I would rather have had you by my side than any one of these words; I would rather have had you by my side than all the blue in the world.”
--Maggie Nelson, Bluets
