There are two small gray bumpers on the front and back. It has two basic black circle wheels with two two-holed white small buttons in the center to indicate the axles. This is all against a light blue salmon-patterned background.

When Robyn first suggested this plan he was very apprehensive, concerned the Very Nice Car might have to ride on gravel roads. What a relief.

This quilt block shows a square building with a square roof. The building is a light tan, and the roof a very dark brown. On the roof is a light yellow sign with the words, "Driving School" written on it in pen. Below that is another sign, this one showing a blue car with white stitching outlining it. Below that is a dark brown door the same shade as the roof, and a large almost black sign with a gray upper case L in it. This is all against a blue salmon-patterned background.

This quilt block shows a deep dark blue SUV against a light blue background (it's now day time in That Town). This vehicle is sturdy and has a tow hook on the rear of it (we are seeing it from the side.) The windshield and window are a light yellow and the headlight is a bright yellow. There are two dark wheels at the bottom with a small two-holed off-white in the center of each indicating the axle.

This particular SUV belongs to Jenny. Jenny is recently retired and on her bucket list is to see all the National Parks and Monuments, even little ones like Tuzigoot*.

The windows are a gray-yellow, and there are two dark wheels at the bottom. Each wheel has a small off-white two-hole button indicating the axle.

Remember when Mary Kay Cosmetics gave away pink Cadillacs in their reward program? Well this isn’t a Cadillac, but I think it’s close to Mary Kay Pink. It also is the color of Barbie’s car. I think this little car is adorable, especially the headlight that looks like a pink nose.
