from Alex Emond, in Banff, Alberta: "These two 1940 or early 40's Dodge sedans showed up this fall in a back yard close to downtown Banff. The grey one is a Special De Luxe, and I am not sure about the darker one , which is more "luxurious" . Really nice and possibly out of the two, get the green/brown one rolling down the road . I have no idea what the story behind these cars is ... I think I know who might own them . Won't be long before they're covered in snow ... maybe even by tomorrow morning. "
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."

1964 Cadillac, Cambridge MA
The license plate is dysfunctional: this is a '64, maybe the best Cadillac of the fin phase. Caught in Cambridge. AL posted a sweet '60 in Blue Hill a while back.

Divco Milk truck.
from Alex Emond out on the Canadian prairies: "The milkman always honks twice. Here's a cool looking relic from the days of milk in bottles. This was just off the trans Canada Hwy in Irvine, Alberta. A vehicle with potential."
