I've seen a million photos of the Going-to-the-Sun Road over the years, but I found this one on the web recently and it immediately became one of my favorites. It's from a box of slides taken in June 1963 by an unknown family from Great Falls, on vacation in Glacier. They're heading up the east side of Logan Pass, and that's Going-to-the-Sun mountain in the background.
That old Chevrolet is just so wonderfully
red.
Doesn't the image make you wanna sing the Star Spangled Banner or something!?
ReplyDeleteHeh ... it actually reminds me of a famous old jingle, that was Chevy's theme song when I was a kid:
ReplyDeleteSee the USA in your Chevrolet
America is asking you to call
Drive your Chevrolet through the USA
America's the greatest land of all
On a highway or a road along a levee
Performance is sweeter, nothing can beat her
Life is completer in a Chevy
So make a date today to see the USA
And see it in your Chevrolet.
OH!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is one I'd like to see on the wall!
Me, too! I wish I could take credit for that one. :)
