I love everything about this 1935 Ford. The color, the upholstery, engine bay. I wouldn’t change a thing. No crazy paint, no Chevy crate engine etc.
If this guy can do it, why can’t the rest of them?
Congratulations Perry for a fabulous class award! Your car looked Regal rolling across the ramp!
Congratulations AJ!! Just stunning!!
These two replica motorcycles were on display at a local car show today. Impressive craftsmanship. The power plant in the Daimler was not of original style but there was a display model of what the original would have looked like. The Roper seemed like it would have been more frightening to ride. Something about having a scalding hot boiler under the seat seems ill-advised.
Solid article from CNBC comparing the Tesla Full Self Driving to the Rivian Autonomy system. Summary is that Rivian is better than everyone else and Tesla is better than Rivian. The Rivian system (as well as most of the others) is Highway driving only.

The tour was Thursday and it rained. What a disaster. Saturday is the traditional pre-show cleanup in the truck lot. A lot more work than the usual year. We got there around 10:15 and we were finished by 1:30. So about 3 hours of work. The underneath of the fenders and the wheels were the toughest to deal with as you might expect. I had plenty of help from @TomLaferriere and @MilburnDrysdale.
Interesting collection and a great article. If you ever find yourself in Newfoundland, make a visit.

This short documentary ended up in my YouTube feed. Now I'm convinced I need a big block jet boat. 🤘
This looks like so much fun...
