Red Chevrolet ...

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.

    Heh ... it actually reminds me of a famous old jingle, that was Chevy's theme song when I was a kid:

    See 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.
