My link didn't open, but I think you are speaking of the steam driven car...That was pretty neat....I would hate to have to stoke the boiler to get up to Interstate speeds!!!

I do too. We have at Metro a '57 General Motors passenger bus restored and dedicated to Rosa Parks. I feel like I stepped into a time warp into the past everytime I board it. I grew up in the 60's when this model bus was still in service and it makes me nostalgic for the good old days

The link worked for me after displaying some patience. Top speed on that sucker was 38 mph which in the 1880's was blinding fast based on the information in the video. Looks like a mini locomotive and a car.

Probably worth more if you just left it alone than detailing it.

I'm an 80's baby but for some reason, especially here lately, I gravitate towards earlier generations. I love old school music-mainly old school R&B, of course old classic cars-my dream car is a Black 64 Continental with suicide doors. I'd love to actually completely overhaul one. I just got done watching the Dirty Harry series on DVD and I want to watch old westerns. I also wanna find some black and white mob movies. I often find myself saying "I wonder how this was back then..."
