Well, boo. Okay, this is what Karen braved road construction and speed traps for. I picked it up for a song, and she wants it WAY more than I do, so... she bought the pie, I helped her load it into the car. 
Here's a closer pic - it's awfully pretty, but was completely unappreciated in my garage. Karen's strong sons will haul this behemoth up to her sewing room, and I will be able to park inside when it snows. Everybody wins!Now about that pie. I REALLY should have taken a picture of THAT. Best pie on the planet, eh Karen? She had scrambled eggs, rye toast, and coconut cream pie. I skipped the eggs and toast and went straight to dessert. 20 minutes from my house, closed on Tuesdays during the winter - The Bridge Restaurant. The other offerings: blueberry, cherry, strawberry rhubarb, maple cream, plus a yummy sounding pumpkin bread pudding (served hot with maple syrup)... but my favourite is, was, and always shall be the coconut cream pie. I think Karen might even agree that the pie was worth the 2 1/2 hour drive, the treadle was just the whipped cream.
(I'm messing with the time stamp so this one appears after the clues, in case anyone does want to guess.)

The pie was great, it truly is the best on the planet, and had a lovely ride up and back.Good oldies tunes, little traffic, and I was in heaven.Perfect day.And Dan even got the exhaust put on the subaru which is quiet as a mousie now.Now into the tub with a good book...
Like you Dorothy I had one of those that took up more room than it was worth. I finally sold it about 15 years after I bought it for the same price. I should've charged a storage fee!
