from Reid Cunningham: "'68 and '77 Catalinas. Springfield VT. They had a number of old cars for sale and then a sort of junk yard/awaiting restoration area."
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

1952 Ford Mainline
from Alex Emond: "... exactly which model is a bit of a guess . Could be a Meteor since I'm in Canada. Mr. Wikipedia lists at least 4 possible model names like Crestline and Mainline. Whatever. It was sitting on the main drag in Aneroid, Saskatchewan for all to see. Looks like it's a driver. I don't have a problem with 4 doors, but aficionados say 2 is better. They don't have dogs
ps: the grain elevator in Aneroid (below)

1966 Dodge Charger
From Jonathan Welsh: "We spotted this 1966 Dodge Charger next to Route 1 on the northern outskirts of Searsport, Maine. The radically rounded fastback lasted two model years and is rare these days.
"It's more popular (and more handsome?) progeny from 1968-70 became stars of large and small screens, whether one prefers "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry," "The Dukes of Hazzard" or "Fast and Furious.""

Lost and Found Trucks
"I passed this hauler going east , close to the Ab./Sk. border . For a change , these trucks seemed to be heading to Sask. . The diamond amongst these ruffians is the 1938 General Motors Company truck, second to last here.
"Here's a few other 'trucks on trailers' that I have seen . They get bought at farm auctions and then they're off to their new life."

Mexican Ford
from Michael Moore: "I thought this might be the color, “Matador Red” that I had my 1960 VW cabriolet painted after the first time I wrecked it but when I asked the guy what it was all he knew was that it was 'orange…maybe Toyota color'…Ah well; tiny mags, saggy stance…Mexican Ford"

Mercury M-350
From Alex Emond: "More than just a Christmas decoration, this was a one ton beast, back in the day. This truck is out front of a farm alongside Hwy 4 between Swift Current and Cadillac. Sooner or later somebody is going to make an offer and haul it away . Really nice artifact that will ride again , hopefully. Saskatchewan is slowly opening up, cautiously

1967 MGB-GT
The poet Eva H.D. spotted the car in Toronto, before the May snow. Those red wire wheels...I guess the choice would have been the MG or the Volvo 1800 ES.
MGB-GT on the block at Bring A Trailer.
