Automobile, Transportation

A 1948 Willys 4wd pickup sits in Lineberry, North Carolina. Justin Latham and Odell Routh restored it and were cleaning it up for a car show.

Sunday my son and I stopped by the North Carolina Aviation Museum in Asheboro, North Carolina to take a look at their newest artifact, a 1948 Lincoln limousine used by President Harry Truman. At 6500 pounds, with bullet proof doors and a Sherman tank transmission, it’s quite a vehicle and will soon be undergoing restoration. Above, local attorney Alan Pugh sits in the seat that the President occupied many times. Alan considers Harry Truman his favorite modern President.

The Ferrari 250GTO is arguably the most beautiful car body ever built. This particular one shown at Virginia International Raceway is probably also the most original in existence.

Automobile

Odell and Dori Routh, of Lineberry, North Carolina, head out for an antique auto meet in their 1931 Model A Ford roadster on a recent Saturday morning. Both of them are pretty well bundled up because it seems their beautiful old car doesn’t have a lot of heat.
