A copy of Deutsche Guggenheim Magazine arrived in the mail today, with a Jean-Francois Chevrier text and good reproductions of Men Waiting and Tenants. That's a white Subaru Ford wagon in the lower left corner of Tenants: I actually got out a magnifying glass and studied the little cartoon-stars ornament Ford ornament on the grille. Not a Legacy, but beggars can't be choosers. That said, a dinged-up Subaru wagon "of a certain age" is a pretty safe bet if you want to photographically represent a beater, and there are plenty of them in the Valley.

LOGICAL Q: The Valley?

A: Five-digit address on the side of the apartment. Surrey, Abbotsford, or Chilliwack.

[Edits after receiving the Guggenheim catalog in the mail, whose sharp, full-page enlargement of the front of the car convincingly proved its Fordness. Sigh.]
