A few neat old odds and ends
Some neat old odds and ends from my visit to the California Auto Museum last Saturday: . . . . According to the docent I talked to, this was the highest-selling Model T ever a few years ago–I think he said it sold for $73,000. Nice. It’s one of only a handful in existence of [...]

1906 Ford Model K Touring Car

Adding yet still more Easter pictures of my niece. As always, there are more of this batch available on my Flickr. I’ll put the last bit on here tomorrow, I promise. :-) . .
