Having been a mechanic and working on cars from 1937 to present I think many orphan cars were better than the mainstream cars. They were run by geniuses that could not tie their shoes...
Checking a 1937 Hudson after engine rebuild.....one fantastic engineered car.
Thanks for the great pics! Gorgeous cars! Do you have some vintage models on your layout? BTW, what is an "orphan car"? Sounds like something I wanted to do when my '69 Mach I was giving me trouble: Create an Orphan car...
