We own a 1975 GMC Sierra Grande 15 in Maine and a 1986 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 10 in West Texas. Also a pair of 1997 Volvo 850 wagons. Average age in the fleet is 28 years--we're recycling. I've published 3 novels: THE LAW OF DREAMS (2006), THE O'BRIENS (2012), and CARRY ME (2016). Also 2 short story collections: NIGHT DRIVING(1987) and TRAVELLING LIGHT (2013). More of my literary life is at www.peterbehrens.org I was a Fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Study for 2012-13.

Nash Metropolitan



from Jonathan Welsh, in N.J. "Here is a car that has fascinated me since childhood. Sorry about the single photo but I would have to trespass to get more. I imagine the owner still plans to get this one back on the road. Any day now. We can't see much but this could only be a Nash Metropolitan from the 1954 to 1962 model years. The spare-tire mount on the trunk gives it away. People often call it the first American subcompact car but they might be forgetting the Crosley and probably others that could make a case."

AL caught one of these in Harvard Square last fall; Alex Emond caught another on the high plains of Saskatchewan
