1960 Mercury Monarch Lucerne

From Alex Emond: Just back from a week in Saskatchewan . In Gleichen, Alberta I sneaked into a back yard for a quick shot of this big Kryptonite-coloured ride–a 1960(?) Mercury Monarch Lucerne, of all things. What the hell? I saw the Chrysler (below) in Gleichen,  a post-war behemoth with a grill that makes me think of Chicago, not a village in Blackfoot country.  The row of retired farm trucks (below) was just a few minutes west of Gleichen. Out to pasture...that big Reo has to be fairly rare. On the way out of town, heading east, a mid-fifties GMC school bus. Looks like an early effort at a "camper". Has potential. It's always worth swinging off the highway to snoop around.
