Meet Bill Carlson of Nelson, B.C. He and his wife, Marlene, are driving across Canada to St. Johns, Newfoundland. Their rig consists of a 1957 Buick Caballero four-door hard top station wagon and a 1979 Trillium Jubilee.

Carlson painted the Trillium to match the professionally painted Buick. He also upgraded both the car and the trailer with fancy chrome wheels.

“Old coots like us, we just like to improve things,” said Carlson.
