088-013 1969 MERCURY COUGAR CONVERTIBLE - PAINTED CANYON, CALIFORNIA - 1988

            SLIDE 88-13:  Painted Canyon is just off Box Canyon Road (former California State Highway 195 and US Highway 60), between Mecca, California and Chiriaco Summit on Interstate 10.

Along with parts of present-day California State Highways 86 and 111 (CA 86 and CA 111), Box Canyon Road was, until 1935, the routing of US Highway 60 from Indio, California eastward.  In 1935 a new US 60 segment, with the same routing as present-day Interstate 10, replaced the narrow, winding route through Box Canyon. 

I converted  the 351 CID Windsor engine to factory specification 4 Venturi (4-Barrel) carburetion with the proper high-compression cylinder heads.  I sold it in 1988 or 1989  to an agent who shipped it to a buyer in Australia.
