Shoop Doo Wah

I stopped at a gas station in tiny Hope, Arizona, and almost immediately got the eerie feeling that I had been transported back in time. Maybe it was the lonely, out of the way location. Or Connie Francis crooning from the outdoor speaker. And then this fellow pulled up in a 1957 Dodge and the transformation was complete.


He told me he had just bought it for $350. I immediately offered him $400 and we both had a hearty laugh. I drove off back into the future.
