More cars?

Here’s some more cars, some of which are definitely forgettable.

1965

Bought this in London, we used it to tour Europe.

Back in England and on our way home to Canada I took it to an auto wrecker. “I don’t value it at nuffin.”

But he would take it for free so I left it at his front gate. more

1967

Studebaker(I think!). We existed on $500 cars: when they began to cause problems they were immediately traded for a “new” junker.

I think this car ended up in a Dean Ellis sculpture,” Valiant Love”.
