What is it? Took this a Denver's Forney Museum of Transportation yesterday. It had no plaque and the one staff woman had no idea what it was either. It houses a straight eight for power.
Just found out the car is a 1932 Auburn. This car was custom-built to race in the Indianapolis 500, but apparently it crashed in practice. A man from upstate New York state found it junked out, repaired it, put a Buick straight eight engine in it, and raced it on small-town fairground dirt tracks in the 1950s and ’60s. Years later the car was found in a barn near Watkins Glen, New York, and was meticulously restored to its current condition. It’s a beauty!
I am so excited about my hibiscus, the one I brought from my mother's house. It usually only has one bloom at a time and not many flowers at one time. But since I cut it back, it now has had five ready to bloom. One bloomed a couple of days ago, another yesterday, and overnight two more have come out at once. They are doubles so really pretty. I always interpret the blooms as Mother saying hello. Maybe my dad got into it this time, too. Here's a pic (not very good) along with another one of begonias blooming where I didn't think there would be any after they died off.
Gary, I love those night shots with the taillights. When I was in Paris in the 60s I took similar shots on slides with my Argus C3 camera. Some of my favorites. I really should get them converted to digital; I would imagine that can be done.
