I spent a year in Montana in the 70's...A couple of months in a place called Hysham (that was an experience)...Rest of the time in Billings...
God's Country...
I bought a volkswagon in Billings. At the time, Bozeman had a dealer with just 6 or 8 cars (total) on the lot. Drove to Billings, to the "big dealer". They had something like 40(!) cars.
Since it was Montana, I didn't need to spend the extra $1,000 on an air conditioner... then I went to seminary in Texas!
Ended up selling it to a seminary graduate heading to Minnesota.
