Last of the Mohicans... Hank is the last original owner/racer





and Hank is one NICE guy, he always seems to have time to shoot the breeze and share some stories. Above he's on the left of the call board, and below he's telling the guy about the many times he's been featured on magazine covers


Last time I looked it up, there are only about 5 original Shelby Cobra owners, and only Hank brings his to the shows http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/hanks-cobra-winningest-cobra-racer-ever.html  and because no other racers from the 60's owned, or survived, I'm privileged to have met and talked with Hank.

The link above is from the full gallery with call boards, interior shots, etc when Hank brought his car to the Knotts Berry Farm Fab Fords event in 2013

Evans streamliner dual purpose rail road and street car, 1935, found on Shorpy.com




The "auto railer" consists of front and rear steel pilot railroad wheels attached to a conventional type of bus or truck. The pilot wheels are raised for operation over highways but can be let down when the vehicle reaches the tracks. The vehicle runs on its own tires over the rails with the pilot wheels guiding it along the track.

Evans Products was founded by John Steptoe Evans, whose grandson John D. Evans was a co-founder of C-Span.

Evans Products started out building wood products; first, a wooden block that allowed easy loading of autos on railcars, then cedar separators for the plates in a car battery. John S. Evans set a record in 1928 by flying around the world in 28 days.
