New to the Shilo Museum:WW1 Cadillac Ambulance

[Bob Carriere]

Hey it hard for anything to live/grow in Shilo ..... not just the trees.

I know the feeling....... the Hammond barn trucks are parked along a bike path and people have referred to me "as the guy with all the trucks near the skiddoo trail............ during the Summer, trees, that grows easily around here, do hide a multitude of sins....... however, the red cross from the Dodge ambulance is quite visible during the Winter months.

Popularity is really a two edged swords........ you can attract the wrong kind of people........ However, while watching some reruns of Jay Leno's million dollars garage / collection the interviewer was asking Jay "where in the heck did he find all these weird vehicles.....referring particularly to a steam powered side car motorcycle...." His answer was that ... "a lot of people actually come to him with items/vehicles asking him if he is interested......."

Mind you he is in a different $$$$$$$ league than all of us combined.....

Nonetheless, the credit given to your attention on the press is well deserved.

Cheers
