What the heck is this this? Looks like an erector set. There's a Flathead V-8 in that yellow box. It's an orchard wind machine, complete with a DC-3 prop. Lifting a Big Ford sign into place. We've got quite a collection of Ford signage.

Outside, we planted some shrubbery during our landscaping work. Our mechanic is back to work!

Our thanks to all the guys and gals who showed up in Auburn to help with the monumental task of unloading and setting up our collection so it'll be ready for our visitors at the upcoming Central National Meet in August! What you see here is just a fraction of our entire collection! You can see it all if you attend the Meet in August. We hope to see you there!
