The Maine Marfa Axis, a 1974 Chevrolet station wagon & a 1974 Buick wagon



from David Branch, in Marfa
"The blue Maine summer sky will give these away as six months past-date but I meant to send these shots along. Your post about large, basic wagons got me thinking. This Chevy was parked at the Penaquid Point light this summer when I was there for a visit. I'll attach some of a nice Spitifire as we'll, though I missed my chance to catch a really great working Chevy pickup, black, patinated, 1952, full of traps and buoys. Funny you were in Wiscassett. My mom lives in Damariscotta. Enjoy the thaw..."--DB
p.s. Autoliterate came across the Buick version of this wagon for sale last month at Motorland which is located in the old textile mill complex in Biddeford, Maine, an early industrial landscape that fascinates us and that we intend to explore further as soon as the weather's a bit warmer. Stay tuned.

    The Chevrolet Impala station wagon in the pictures is a 1976 not a 1974.
