Thanks, Lee. My Canon was having some interesting issues that day, so
many of our shots did not turn out. Sorry I did not see you there.
Trish and I pedaled up there on Saturday morning to look at the cars.
A dozen Freeways, including prototype #1. A plague of Metropolitans. a
Peel P50 with "reversing handle". A "Hop Rod", a gasoline-powered pogo
stick! The "Moxey", a Rolls-Royce with "horse interface", wherein you
sat in the saddle on a statue of a horse with a stirrup for gas and a
stirrup for brakes, etc. A double-bubble Fiat. Jim Danielson's
"Boarshead Sprite". All things weird and wonderful.
