1957 Pontiac Laurentian Convertible

Spotted this one in Nipawin, Saskatchewan.

There weren't many of these built making it truly rare . . . and it's in pretty nice condition all around.

I've only ever seen one other in all my years and it was black and white as well. It also had cruiser skirts. Maybe the two are the same car?  

If I hadn't stopped to take pictures of the church in the background I'd never have seen it. Lucky!

Church of St. Claire

 

While on a bus tour through Ontario, I grabbed a couple of quick photos of the abandoned Church of St. Claire in Upsala, Ontario.

This lovely old wooden church has seen better days. It sits near the CP main line through Ontario. I'm not sure when the church was built but it seems certain it was in the 1920s.

Upsala is named after the city in Sweden - Uppsala. Some of the founders of the town had Scandinavian-sounding last names like Nordal, Nordstrom, Hakanson, and Greenlund.
