Does Wayne Carini Like Model A's?

I don't see any reason to fault him for his interests. He likes old cars just like the rest of us do. He is in a position to avail himself to a lot of automobiles that I could never afford nor have the time to restore due to their rarity. He is lucky to be able to do that.

My mentor for the old cars worked for Bill Harrah at his museum in Reno back when Bill was still alive. He was a specialist on the Stanley Steamer cars due to his amazing welding skills. He rebuilt boilers and condensers as well as the frames, bodies, and engines. He worked on or helped restore and maintain just about every car that came through Bill's museum shop. He couldn't afford the cars that Bill had but he did own two 1908 Brush cars as well as others in his time and he got to appreciate the cars that he couldn't afford. He passed that appreciation on to me. Bill owned a Model K Ford which was about the largest car available in 1908 and my friend Nolan owned two of the smallest cars built in 1908 but I think he had more fun with those cars than Bill ever had with the model K.

I liked the older fellow that Wayne Carini had working on all the old cars in his shop. I could tell he was a character just like my friend Nolan was. Wayne likes to own them but a lot of us like the challenge of the restoration just as much or maybe more.
