I am looking for some history on the 1988 Turkey Run. Any ideas where I could start? I am looking for details about a '29 Ford Model A Roadster that was given away. Any help is appreciated. The car was built by Magoos and upholstry by Denny Nish with all the B & M accessories and transmission. Thanks...

Dreaming of cars in barns... didn't start with the "Sleeping Beauties" but they started planet wide hunts for more "barn find"s

Well, I was just emailed by the very kind Arnoud op de Weegh who "saw your post from the sleeping beauties photographed by Herbert W Hesselmann. This collection is the famous Dovaz collection. Maybe the following site about barnfinds is also interesting for you:

Many thanks Arnoud! Very kind of you to share the link to more photos and information about them!
Also, here's a small bit about them too: http://www.prewarcar.co.uk/read_article.asp?id=3326

VW, the largest company in the world?
On Oct 30th, in terms of market capitalization, Volkswagen temporarily surpassed ExxonMobil and became the largest company in the world.
For reasons I don't understand, becuase I'm not into financial business matters at a level where I would understand the jargon when put together in sentences of more than 3 words.... "Since Volkswagen had the highest short interest of any stock in the German DAX index (12.9% of float), the result was the mother of all short squeezes. After closing at 210 Euros on Friday, Volkswagen rose above 1,000 Euros in intraday trading and is currently trading at 643 Euros."
It is true, Attu sees all... http://attuworld.com/cars/the-largest-company-in-the-world-volkswagen.html
