It’s the “put it into storage” part that matters.

Was looking at a 1940 Lincoln last night. Apparently good until stored in a damp garage. What’s there in its place I wouldn’t bother with.

Favorite stories are:

- the pair of Lockheed Lodestars Howard Hughes kept at a Dallas airport for nearly thirty years. Full-time crews. Regularly serviced and exercised. Always on call. Legend is they never were.

- And the guy who had built the awesome Lake Tahoe King, “Thunderbird”. Airplane engines on a fast motor yacht. But WWII got him worried the USG would commandeer. So, hire a mining engineering company to blast a long tunnel up under his home so the yacht was safe form prying eyes.

Starting that set of motors is one of the sweetest sounds available.
