The story behind the image
Between Las Vegas and San Francisco I recommend considering a stop in Bishop, one of the biggest towns in the Eastern Sierra. It is nice and tidy and offers everything you might need, including a public recreational park.
We were hungry and stopped at Erick Schat’s Bakery to get some of his delicious pastries and of his speciality, an original sheepherder bread. Next to the bakery, Mr. Schat had placed a pink Cadillac de Ville Convertible from 1956. A real eyecatcher! A look at archived Google Streetview images reveals that the car has been removed at some point in time between October 2011 and October 2018. Too bad.
By the way, I think its funny that the awning shows the name of the bakery as ‘Erick Schat’s Bakkerÿ’, probably as a faint memory of the Dutch origin of the founder, who immigarted to the U.S. in 1950. Wikipedia has the full story.
