Thanks to Vincent Stanley who caught the carr in Blue Hill, Maine. Nice car, too bad it's turquoise, is that even a color? Very popular shade on restored '55s. This car is being raffled for the benefit of Blue Hill YMCA: 300 tickets, at $100 a ticket. The '55 was an extraordinarily popular car and there are plenty still around, including one for sale a few years back in Sedgwick, Maine. and another '55 in Mossbank, Saskatchewan. We caught a '55 Chevrolet wagon for sale in Cambridge in 2019; and a '55 Townsman wagon was on the block at BaT. Here's a rougher edition of the '55 wagon, in Wiscasset, Maine and an even rougher one in Marfa, Texas. And then a cleaned-up '55 wagon in Searsport, Maine. A '55 Chevrolet convertible was riding low in Santa Fe; and a streetfighter '55 lurked in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. And this '55 wagon was for sale last time we went through San Luis, Colorado.
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
