Took a trip up this weekend up through the Thompson Nicola region of British Columbia and then dropped down through the Okanagan Valley.  Stumbled across this treasure on a very lonely back road.  300 cars in the bush.

This was on a 58 Edsel Corsair trunk.  Bondy's was a Ford Dealer that opened in 1957.

With the good, comes the bad. 
5,700 foot elevation, minus 9 Celsius, not enjoying the slick roads and a 1956 Crown Victoria goes by me heading east.
If you watch Highway through Hell on Discovery, this is part of the Coquihalla Highway.  I have hit snow in June.

I guess at my age 14 Studebakers  would beat a hard on.
