Wow, I am constantly amazed at what people (and the Governments) spend money on. Those cars are pretty, yes, but what do you do with them?? (and why
do you do it?) 
(Oh boy, I am in for it now)

Barry,
All but two are driven and enjoyed. The others are museum pieces and enjoyed by many, including me.
Viva la diference.....

Some people don't the difference between tools and works of art like those the pictures represent . It must be sad to be that Ignorant .

Reminds me to ask, is the Harrah's auto museum still open and operating? It used to be a great way to kill a day.
That said, I remember when Bill Harrah and Harvey Gross opened casinos on CA 50 opposite each other back in the stone age. Gross was a cattle rancher,
and oh yea, his casino, that later became a huge hotel complex is known as Harvey's.

No, J.P, not really "sad"------"ignorance" is bliss, I hear, and I am a happy man so it MUST be true.

PS------My wife is an artist, and makes a living at it. "Art appreciation" is a requirement in this household.

Nice photo work Ken. Very nice!! If the cars were not art before, they certainly are art after your photo work.

I can only assume these "cars are tools" folks also have no interest in the clean lines of a perfect, uh, boat!

Sorry about the Ignorant thing.

Now THAT is an entirely different perspective, and of course changes the entire discussion-----------I am with you on this one.  (and it often works)
Barry
and on edit---wonder where that hand is going on the lower left of the pic??

Actually, if you stare at the young lady long enough part of a boat, a fishing rod, and a watery horizon come into the picture. Amazing how they do
it.
