Resa McConaghy at Graffiti Lux Art and More has written a fascinating post for Eternal Road. Resa is a talented artist and has created beautiful drawings to interpret how she sees Sam, her favorite character. She has also taken photos of murals she has found and placed them into the post to describe the book further. If you haven’t visited Resa before, now is the time. Prepare to be overwhelmed by her talent as I have been. Thank you, Resa.
It’s the road trip of a deathtime.
I’d say lifetime, but both lead characters, James and Samantha, have already passed. Where are they going? I can’t tell you. However, a few brief glimpses of their journey are in order.
Of course I was keen on knowing why John had picked this particular car.
Resa – Why did you pick the 1965 Oldsmobile? Why turquoise and white?
John – The 1965 Oldsmobile was selected since it represents my awakening in high school. I was born in Detroit and when I was 15 moved to the suburbs. During high school I used to wash and wax a neighbors 1965 Oldsmobile coupe. Yes, it was turquoise and white and had fancy hubs and white wall tires. The car represents the suburbs since the real item very seldom got very dirty and existed without the inner city grime, pings, and nicks. It always struck…

I had that exact car–1955 Oldsmobile Super 88, turquoise and white when I was in high school. I dropped in a bigger 1957 Olds 371 cubic inch engine with dual Edelbrock four-barrel carburetors, added lake plugs, and dual glass packs. It was a beast. I very seldom met my match at the KC drag strip.

Mine was a 49 Ford flat head coupe. Offenhauser manifold, Stromberg 97 four barrel, 53 truck clutch, 4-11 rear end, reverse floor shifter, lakers, duel exhaust. Could take anything but the new 57 Chevy V/8s. I like the sound of yours for sure Ron.

That 49 Ford sounds gnarly! Those old flatheads were great engines. Easy to work on. My very first car was a ’50 Mercury with a flathead V-8. I put 3 two-barrels on it, bored it, and stroked it. It did pretty well, but not as well as my 55 Olds.

The olds would be tough to beat. That was an overhead valve V/8 right. I think the same engine that was introduced into the Chevy Bel Air in 57.

I should have said I had a 1955 version of that car; not the 1965 model.
