Vikings at Naskeag

Oh come on–the only car with more soul than an old Volvo wagon is a truck. An old Chevy, maybe. From Texas. Perhaps it's because Volvos tend to last, & get passed down, & on the gradual descent from upper-middleclassness, they experience some adventure along the way. And any car looks better out at Naskeag, where the Maine Penny was found in 1957.
