Description

I was driving along highway 15 between Leupp on the Navajo Reservation and Winona, on Interstate 40. This picture was taken just west of the reservation boundary. What caught my eye was not the old pickup but the '58,'59', or '60 Ford 'Thunderbird' in the background. It brought back memories of when I first arrived in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in summer 1960. I used to stand at the dealerships lots and check out this car and dream about owning one. Well I never did, but this model Thunderbird is one of my all-time favorite American cars. In the distance is the Painted Desert. This picture was taken on 22 February 2009. Thank you for viewing and commenting on my uploads and a special 'Thank you' to those that may have added some of them to their favs, Sig...

Oh, I like this! There must be hundreds or maybe thousands of these old Chevy pickups languishing in fields and lots like this...all about the same, flat tires, a missing headlight, worn out paint, hood ajar. As for the T-Bird, I had a 1966 model...looked cool but was the hardest car on tires I ever owned. It was heavy and leaned a bit much going around corners...you could feel the rubber being scrubbed off the tires.
