The car was the light green version. I think it was a 75 or 76, with the single headlamp. I later bought a 77, which had the double headlamps, so I know his was a 75 or 76. The dude had a Christian station playing on the radio too.
So basically, no cars coming either way on the road, as far as you could see. Only the malibu, but then Mr. ElCamino popped in, from out of nowhere it seemed.
