Does that guy really have his foot on the bumper?

Sure did,Ed. The photographer, in the foreground, asked for, and took more than one picture of him in that pose. Some owners do strange things with their restorations, even if they do spent $200,000, or $300,000 on them. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

That "guy" is Bill Parfet, aire to the Gilmore fortune... and he is very personable and willing to do anything asked of him to promote the hobby. He also owned the 1906 Columbia that was on the field. Many of his cars are on display at the Gilmore Museum in Kalamzaoo, Michigan.

West,
Don't you mean the Upjohn fortune?

Okay. Gilmore married an Upjohn, so I guess it's sort of the same family, or fortune.

Gee, when I married I only acquired more relatives for me to help support...I hope my wife doesn't read this.
