A '36 Auburn I worked on. It was hit in the top of the rr quarter and knocked the back end out of wack. This car was in "The Great Race" on the History Channel back then.

How about some engines, there is a Cadillac V12 OHC engine in here, that engine was supposed to go in like the 1970 Eldorado... some of you may remember how long to hood were on the era of some of the Cad's, my buddie that got us in here for the tour started working at GM in 70's, he worked in the dyno lab and he said the old-timers use to talk about that V12 and how smooth it ran. GM was putting it into production then they decided to pull the plug on it and cancelled it. He's seen that happen many through his career at GM, he retired with 34 years in the dyno lab.
