Wouldn’t you rather drive a Buick? You still can – but not an Oldsmobile or a Pontiac (unless pre-owned). This 1927 beauty is on display at the National Road Museum in Zanesville Ohio.

The oldest car that I have owned was a 1939 Plymouth convertible. This old Buick is over 10 years older and is handsome, don’t you think?

“"Look!" said one, pointing to the west.

"A rider!"

Jane Withersteen wheeled and saw a horseman, silhouetted against the western sky, coming riding out of the sage. He had ridden down from the left, in the golden glare of the sun, and had been unobserved till close at hand. An answer to her prayer!
