Mike meets plenty of cool people while he’s out and about delivering packages. Today we got to spend some time with one of Mike’s cool customers, and get the VIP tour of his shop and yard. Beyond a simple collection of beautiful old cars, this amazing location houses a variety and quantity of parts, rare tools, and random antiques. It was an awesome time, and I’m really glad we got to share it with some good friends.

Lincoln
Sweet suicide doors.
Lines and curves that never saw a CAD design team or safety engineers.
All the bells and whistles.
I can't imagine being able to take a quick glance at this one while driving down the road.
I think 110mph may be optimistic.
Fresh Air has a winter option, I wonder if it pre-heated the air?
Thank you Ron for letting us spend time with you and your incredible collection today.
