little trees

Family-owned and American-made since 1952, you don’t get much more deeply ingrained in American car culture than Little Trees. (COURTESY PHOTO)

It’s amazing how a song or a scent can bring one to another time and place.

I spent many long winter days and nights behind the wheel of a Ford L8000 six-wheeler dump truck plowing and sanding for a municipality, punctuated by the scent of a classic green “stinky tree” hanging off the radio knob. Even today, the smell of a Royal Pine Little Tree air freshener transports me right back there.
