I had a couple Cadillacs out for rides this week. The weather has been perfect here in Ohio.

At the ripe old age of 7 Dad gave me the controls of a 1928 Ford Roadster. First gear on a backroad. What a great day.

They make a damn fine Gasser that's why.

1936 DeSoto

I was told by an AACA tour group that I should expect some damage after a very rude woman broke a mirror off of one of my cars. After I asked her not to squeeze into the place she was squeezing into. Now I limit the size of groups. I also give a talk about car etiquette before letting groups come in.

The Duesenberg Model J was designed without a hood ornament. The idea was if you didn't know what the car was then you were not in the know. In other words, you were a moron. But owners complained about having to constantly tell everybody, everywhere what kind of car it was. So, they made a hood ornament. Gordon Buehrig designed it. The requirement for the design was it had to be cheap and easy to make.

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn

I saw a big Lincoln K at Hershey once. The greyhound dog mascot was wearing a knitted sweater. The lady with the car said that she made him (the dog) one for every season. Mascots are always fun to see especially the rare ones. I have a pretty neat one on my 1932 Ford.

Ahoooooooooooooogah!

Both sides can be opened.

I had this great Ford out for a Sunday drive yesterday.

Walt, It might be easier to build one. Could be a fun project.
