Recently, when I realized a reader had visited from Beamsville, I confused the town with Beachville. I wasn’t driving at the time so I didn’t get lost.

I did, however, begin to wonder at the time why Beamsville sounded so familiar. I later realized it was because on one of my last motorcycle rides of the season I past through Beachville on my way to Woodstock.
Another reader left the following comment:
“Beamsville is in Niagara. I think it is near St. Catharines.”
The reader is correct. And two years ago, on my way to Niagara Falls, I drove down highway 81 for a stretch and past through Beamsville. (I live an exciting life as my memoirs will reveal).
["My dad once owned a car very much like this": photos GH]
Photo files reveal I stopped at an abandoned garage/motel/mystery building and took a few photos of an old sedan in the parking lot.
I ask you:
Have you been to Beamsville? Seen this car? What type of car is it? Do you know the year?
