> Danville, CA, the town I live in(there are other events like in a nearby town, plus Reno has something similar but even bigger) has an event called "Hot Summer Nights" where you get the chance to see these cars up close. Occasionally, some new cars are showcased by dealerships but the vast majority of the cars are from the '60s and before. They are also in various stages of life, from completely original to the beginning stages of restoration to completely modified. I love the old Woodys, in particular, and the cars with the polished external turbine that acted as a vent fan. Last year, someone even brought a WWII half-track with the specs printed out and taped to a window. I think it got 1-2 mpg on the highway. Howard, you would love strolling down the street at one of these events. Check out the links below for some pictures.

Thanks for the links. I've only looked at the first one but will check out the others later today. Naturally I found a scooter on that site. They call it a "scootertiller," but it is unique. I sent a link to some of my Cushman buddies. I'll post it here too. It's nothing like my scooters.
