I doubt I could pull it off legally, but I would like my ashes mixed with a native wildflower mix and spread over a spot somewhere deep in the Q.

Someplace overlooking the water and that got decent sun.

Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe 1970 or ‘71.  Not sure.  It was a gas guzzler, but how I did love it!  We bought it new the fall before our first canoe trip.  It had a paisley print vinyl top and matching upholstery, and was so very comfortable.  Probably powerful, too, but I didn’t care as much about that.  The brown color was what drew us to it at first, and I still think it was beautiful.

Have only had two cars that I really loved and it was the first.  The other was my ‘02 Pontiac Sunfire, fire engine red, that I drove for 17 years.

No one ever notices the rented canoe in this photo, or the sharp guy.  They just see the car!  Except, of course, for me.   

Wait. Vinyl roof and suction cups? Tell me more.

I was laughing about the suction cups a vinyl roof. Then again even those blue foam pads would work better with a little texture under them.

Was the embossing paisley?

Yup.  That’s it.  And the interior had panels of that in the doors and in the seats.  It was actually a very pretty car.  Big, roomy.  Nice for travel with a pre-schooler and a toddler in the back seat.  But you needed to take out a second mortgage to afford the gasoline.
