“What a terrific car you have there, Roy,” said Dusty. “Edsels are getting hard to find. When did they stop making them? 1959?”

“1960, I think,” said the bear. “This is a ’58. I bought it brand new.”

“What do you do to keep her running?” asked the elder G-Shep.

“Nothing special, really. I pretty much just change the oil and the filters regularly.”

Roy Carrara has driven a variety of cars over the years spanned by my “Long Division” stories. But none was as beloved by my bear as his 1958 Edsel Villager which he purchased new and kept running until 1972. This car carried Roy along with his coyote, Tracy, on road trips as far away as Niagara Falls. It also saw some hot backseat action between those two boys during the second feature at a local drive-in.

Roy and his Villager were drawn by Sinister-Jordex.
