Linking FaB8 to DT

DTUK

I have seen discussion in the past about where the car in From a Buick 8 comes from and many have surmised that perhaps its one of the cars driven by a Low Man. Today on the SK Official Site Message board I read this:

I have just finished reading "From a Buick 8" I enjoyed the book, for the most part. I know its supposed to be linked to the Dark tower series. I did not see the connections though. Did i miss something or is the connections in DT books 6&7?

If you haven’t read Hearts in Atlantis and know about low men, it probably wouldn’t make sense. The car is one which was driven by a "low man."

So it appears that there is a connection between FaB8 and The Dark Tower! Just not sure why the driver (Low Man) disappeared and left the car for the PA State Troopers to investigate over the years!

Since it was primarily a dimensional-transportation device (FAB8); maybe as the fabric of reality widened and more doors became accessible, they just had no need of it anymore?



But if FAB8 is a DT connection because of the low-men and it being one of their vehicles, then maybe something might happen in the last DT book that comes some way to explaining how it was left in Pennsylvania.

If King includes information regarding all the possible links, The Dark Tower VII will probably be more than 2000 pages!

And what's wrong with that, jhanic :P lol
