Michelle Fredette’s Volvo 240 Wagon

Teabiscuit
She was named after that old horse in the cartoons that was always at the back of the pack in the race, bow–backed, buck–toothed, and coughing up a storm. I think Porky Pig was at the rails, ripping his betting … Continue reading

Jessica Peirce’s Candy-apple Red Plymouth Duster
My first car was a candy–apple red 1976 Plymouth Duster. It had been my mother’s car, and no one in the family had thought about its muscle-car reputation. Cars in general were just boxes that got you from place to … Continue reading

Ted Morrison’s Ford Falcon(s)

Katie Burke’s Pretty Young Thing
