Abstract On a treeless, windswept moor in eastern North Carolina, the Chevy is open to the rain. Birds nest in its seats. Officials of the surrounding county consider it junk. To Tommy Arney, it's a fossil of the twentieth-century American experience, a piece of history. We follow his struggles to save a rusted '57 Chevy while financial ruin, government bureaucrats and the FBI close in on him.
