Busy Times
by Derik Price
Sorry our post this week is a little late. We're half way through the summer season already and it has been a blur at the Museum. It's fair to say we've exercised more cars this summer than I can remember. Willy even had to write a list on the shop blackboard to keep track. (So far) they include - '05 Olds, '04 Buckmobile, '14 Woods, '12 Premier 4-40, '14 Grant, '09 Hudson, '29 Model A, '25 Stutz, '08 Brush, '09 Olds, '04 Rambler, '11 Oakland, '12 Premier 6-60, '13 Argo, '23 Ford, '03 Columbia, '99 Hertel, '10 Whiting, '10 Stanley, '20 Argonne, '28 Pierce-Arrow, '33 Hupmobile, '34 American Austin, '32 Cadi, '09 IHC, '06 Cadi, '11 Ford, '27 Stutz, plus today and tomorrow the '14 Moline-Knight and the '18 Stutz. Wow! 30 cars out and running in the last 2 months. It's been tough to keep up with Willy - he and the crew have just been 'cranking' them out. :-) I've had the opportunity to shoot LOTS of video this summer and we have been posting new clips each week or so to our YouTube Channel so do check it out.
After the long winters here we sometime forget - there is just nothing that brightens up your day like the sparkle of brass in the summer sun.
So thanks again Willy, Ethan, Steve and the whole docent crew for working so hard to get the cars exercised in our very short summer season.
