And the Stutz has Woodlites. Very cool.
and in the 2nd row? That is the 1929 Mercedes of the illustrating cartoonist, Charles Addams. You know, the Addams Family? Him.
and now we know why Fester and Morticia drove a late 20s Mercedes https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/10/charles-addams-based-this-cartoon-uncle.html

And this Jesse is where I go with the ol' Firebird to have a little fun in September for the Vintage Weekend. The We do a test lap of it before we start our two laps. We don't go all out because it's not a closed course, but we do geta little spirited in some spots. The rules are simple. Follow the posted speed limit, be aware the the authorities are watching, and absolutely NO PASSING. Unless the driver in front pulls over. Oh, remember to stay with your lead driver of your group. Do not lag behind. 😎 I'll be there again this year.
