1953 Packard Cavalier

Not great photos, but the sun was flaring.  It's for sale at Motorland in Maine.

1963 Pontiac Catalina stationwagon. Blue Hill ME

 Thanks to Matt Dallett who caught this beautiful wagon. There's a 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertiable that lives just up the road from where the wagon was spotted.

Cambridge Icon: The 1983 Volvo 240 Wagon

 

Back in the day nothing said " Professor" like a Volvo wagon. They were rigorous, they were logical, they made sense. Volvos are a different tribe theses days, much fancier, and you don't see many of this era around Cambridge. But the ones you do see look like they've been cared-for in only an after-thoughtish, absentminded way, sort of the way graduate students are used and abused. They were tough, hardy cars. I'm guessing but I would say this one is maybe an '83?

1966 International Harvester 14k original

14k miles in 50 years? The truck looks original. Wheels, hubcaps and bumpers have been repainted, brakes were done--and that's about it. It's in Arkansas, and up for auction this week at B-A-T.

1969 Chevy Nov sighted just north of Harvard Square

 The Nova. Looked completely original. 1969? An unsung classic, on the streets of Cambridge, Mass. These were beloved cars. Here's on from Carpinteria we posted a while back.

1958 Chevrolet Apache 31; 1964 Chevrolet C20; and Kenneth Roberts' "Arundel"

I'm guessing this is a 1964 Chevrolet C20. I was in Arundel Maine, near the Kennebunkport town line. Arundel used to be North Kennebunkport. And Kennebunkport used to be Arundel. Go figure. Also, do read Kenneth Roberts' great novel  Arundel. about the Benedict Arnold expedition to Quebec. And if you know who has the film rights please let me know. I've been trying to track them for years. The last I heard the documents were possibly filed in carton possibly stored in a garage somewhere in the San Fernando Valley, possibly in possession of Roberts' lawyer's descendants. I want to make that movie.

1959 Edsel stationwagon

Looks original. I couldn't get very close. If you want to find out more about the car call:

 

 There were a lot of cool machines at his place, near the Kennebunkport/Arundel town line in Maine. Would that be a '64 Rambler? I should know that pickup but I can't place it...
