Whether this building housed Charlie’s Buick or his Lincoln, depending upon who tells the tale, or whether it was actually the shop doesn’t matter. What signifies is the story of his love of his vehicle. Hall’s pride and joy was his car, and although he lived on a gumbo mess of a road (which is now our road and still a gumbo mess) and rarely could drive it anywhere important, he replaced it every couple of years. His loyal ranch hand always bought the old vehicle, when Charlie got the new model from the same dealer. When he died both his usual buyer and salesman were among his pallbearers.
