Dodge can't build a car like this anymore, and ought to be reminded where they came from, how well they once built cars "Ram Tough"'
before roads were graded, plowed, paved, or even planned.
Seeing them get the car back on it's wheels when it tumbled onto its side... by rolling it over, onto it's roof, then the other side, then finally back on the tires... and driving off! THAT is a tough car!

David (The Old Motor.com) has a 7 part post and gallery on the 1908 New York to Paris
On April 21, the Thomas was loaded aboard the S.S. Shawmut, bound for Kobe Japan. During the crossing, Schuster went down into the cargo hold to inspect the Flyer. He had previously removed the metal fenders and replaced them with leather aprons to reduce weight. Before loading the Thomas on board, the aprons had been removed to prevent damage and were placed under a tarp. When George lifted the trap, the leather fenders were gone! He immediately went to the ship’s Captain who reluctantly explained that his Chinese crew had taken the leather to make new sandals. The Captain quickly ordered the Ship’s carpenter to make new fenders from wood and canvas.

this video is long and not worth watching every minute, just skip ahead a lot, because the woman narrating is very repetitive
Skip to minute 7:35 to get the complete wrap up

58 Cameo 1 mile
78 Corvette 4 miles
and from the auction company website list of the few gems, if they knew of any other desireable cars, they'd list them, so I guess the other 485 vehicles aren't as impressive. The Van Der Brink website as of June 30 doesn't have a decent list of the cars yet

James Garner... raced a Charger Daytona? Or is this Buddy Baker?
Found on http://stiffspeed.tumblr.com
the car says Buddy baker, and maybe it's so obvious that the guy is also Buddy Baker, whom I've never seen a photo of... but he sure looks like James Garner
I just learned of this past weekends Model A event, the Texas Tour
these top two photos are courtesy of Robert
these last two photos are of the wagon ruts in a limestone riverbed from the pioneer days, from the 5 page gallery of the event at http://www.soonermodela.org/apps/photos/album?albumid=14832804
