Wayne it is my understanding that the tour was cancelled by headquarters without the knowledge of Joanna or the local tour chairman. How can you have a Grand National and a Hershey car show and not allow a local tour that will provably attract less than 50 cars and a max of 150 people, especially since the tour is 90 days out. My opinion is that headquarters could give a sh-- about tours and didn't want to be bothered. We have become a "Shiny Car" club. Just my opinions, been wrong before.

Porcelain, two sides of the same sign. One I have never seen before.

Now you know why it is hard to focus on a single sign. This is his dining room. Show this photo to your wife when she thinks you are going overboard

From a friend’s collection. Sorry for the poor quality photos but I just snapped a few with my phone as I was walking through his house

I would encourage anyone interested it 3D printing to read the post referenced by pmhowe. You will be amazed. I was at J Leno's shortly after he received his first printer which he paid thousands for (if my memory is correct). A similar printer is now $150.

One of the big advantages of joining a local or regional AACA club is that you get access to information on where to go for parts, service of just plain "help" from knowledgeable local club members. When I moved to College Station 11 years ago there was no local AACA club so I joined a Street Rod Club. They have been very helpful.

I would love to see a photo

I would suggest listing them on Bring a Trailer one car every week or two. $95 for a 7 day listing and you take the photos. If they take the photos it is less than $300. Either way you will be assigned a listing assistant who will write the add and take care of the mechanics of listing. You can place a reserve if you like but No Reserve listings sell better. Sign up for their daily emails to get familiar with the system. They sell 40-60 cars every day and have a large following. If you use a reserve and the car doesn't sell you can go to plan B. Just my opinion.

On another forum someone noted that Fastenal had suspended their transport service because of the pandemic. I haven't checked to see if that is in fact true but nothing surprises me lately.

Thanks Wayne. Yes this is painted on the side of a building. I assumed it was a aftermarket body although quite similar to the 19 Paige 6-66 Daytona speedster or the Kissel Model 45 Gold Bug Speedster.

Quite a difference between 10 and 12

On the side of a building in Anacortes located on Fidalgo Island. What make is it?

Bans was exhumed in 1969 and underwent a 15 year restoration

Are we out of race cars???

In 1907 Fred Marriott tried to break his own record and hit a rut in the sand at 150mph. He was injured, lost an eye and never raced again. Rumor has it that the car remains were buried in the sand on the beach only to be recovered at a later date

First photo is an artists rendition of the Stanley Rocket. This car made of canvas and glue set a record of 127.6 mph on Jan 23,1906. This record wasn’t broken until by a steam machine until 2009.

1903 Stanley Steamer race car

Thank you, I always thought the third car was a Cadillac but didn't have a clue on the other two

I believe the car in the middle with the hard rubber tires is a 1909/'10 Fuller! Thanks Wayne, what about the other two?
