I'm just a hop skip and a jump from the Plant #4 where most of those were made.

IIRC I overheard you in (Chicago??) a few years ago standing just inside the entrance and talking about your antique car interest and saying "I love fussy old junk"?

BTW the actual show has probably 75-100 B models in attendance... along with everything from Chain Drive AC's to Walter Snow Fighters that you'd see in the Rockies.
