That was a lot of fun out there Bill, thanks for putting this together. Pretty amazing collection of cars that Howard has. I went in expecting it ot be fairly large...but not that large!

Good thing you decided to stay for those last two buildings he???? ;)

Holy cow was that something to see!!!   1926 up to mid 80's and all intake and running except one that is being rebuilt now.   It's a rolling chassis with a bulkhead only and gives a great view of the mechanics of the vehicle.   What's really amazing is how light they were for their size.   I think my RRC weighs more then a couple of them.    One 1937 model had a rear seat in it I would quite happily have used as a sofa in my living room, it looks so nicely made and comfortable.    One of the older models we were looking at allowed the engine to be tuned from the drivers seat.   And you didn't have to slam their doors closed......you just had to gently close it and it was a perfect fit, unlike my 110's doors :tappa     And you'd think they had a heavy duty suspension underneath it all, but that wasn't the case at all.   A very short spring and a shock that was a third the size of almost any N/A vehicle.

Trevor Bubba do you have any pics.....maybe you can post one or two :mm

Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with the gang :cheesy

Nice pics but they don't really do them justice compared to actually seeing them all.   And those last two buildings...they were the best for me.   Left me in awh! ;D

[Trevor]

Yes, I agree Bill. There's quite a few buildings I took no pictures at all, so you really don't get a good feeling for how many there were. The last couple garages were the highlight for me as well.

Great pictures.
