Last weekend out at Chuck's Mike Lynch and I are walking the property and stopped at a homely 52 sedan. We noticed paint markings on the door. We could make out C/Class and some other wording there abouts It looked to have a stock V-8 motor in it and a floor shifter other than that most people would walk right past it just as most did with The Whistler. Sorry did not take any pictures of it will try to next time. Just thought I'd bring that up. Didn't think much of it when we found it but now I'm thinking its quite interesting. Thanks John

I believe it was a light blue and mostly rust now. It's sits on the main row two or three cars from the end. Towards the garage. And yes I have looked at the 55 also but didn't notice any markings on it. It was good to talk to you on Saturday discovered the marking Saturday night.

Made it back to AJ with the Zip Van. Trailer blew a tire right at the Tom Mix memorial south of Florence. They sent a road service guy out to change the wheel. No harm done. Had lots of time to admire the monument.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta Badlands

I drove one of Tom Mix's Rolls Royce cars once way back when..
First time I ever drove a RHD. First time I ever shifted with my left hand.
First time I was ever scared $#!tless about crashing someone else's vintage car...
T'was a good memory, though...
(Here's a pic of that car)

And Tom Mix got killed driving his Cord, which would probably explain the location of the memorial: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.c...Tom-Mix-s-Cord
