AL: For comparison, a 1980 GMC Rally STX van, in Banff.. and here's another 4x4 van from New Hampshire, set up as a shooting brake.

1951 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery, etc., vicinity Grasslands N.P.
"Some drive-bys...the Chevrolet Sedan Delivery is a rare beast. (AL: Here's another s-d, from N.California) Most of them were worked hard, and used up, but this one, in Bassano , Alberta. still has a future .
"The I.H. truck , circa mid 40's, was in Lafleche, SK (And a while back, Alex found this original 1940 International Model D tucked away in a barn in (Unrevealed) Saskatchewan.
Speaking of grasslands...here's John Newlove's poem, Ride Off Any Horizon...
...then there was that buffalo Alex painted. We posted the model a while back.
...Alberta plates on the '58 Chevrolet Biscayne, which happens to be AL's preferred 50s Chevy vintage. (Seen this '58 Chevrolet Del Ray sleeper?)

1967 Volkswagen Type 1, Tuscany
Henry Behrens photographs. Here's an MG-TD we posted from Italy a while back. I learned about and never forgot the MG-TD and MG-TC while reading Don Stanford's The Red Car when I was 10 or 11. Still a great book; seems impossible, or crazy expensive, to find--though you can stream a copy for free on Open Library. A few year ago, we posted a TC for sale at Olympian Cars. But, to return to the subject at hand, which is Volkswagens: here's a piece on Carl Hahn, who made the Beetle huge.

1967 Jaguar Mark II 3.8 Saloon, New Hampshire
From Reid Cunningham: On the way to a work event, I came across a small repair/restoration/sales auto business that specializes in British cars. Brit Bits is in Rye NH. I'm including pictures of a vintage Jaguar that was for sale, out front, and then (later posts) a random selection of cars in various states of repair or decay next to the shop. I appreciated how ecumenical they are when it comes to British cars: they had MG's, Jaguars and Triumphs. Also a TVR and a Rover!
