Want a ride?

Sunday we had Birthday parties for Nick and Arianna on Mark's side of the family.
When I looked outside to check on the kids playing I saw Grandpa spoiling them.
Don has a large collection of old cars that he rebuilds. He has some really awesome cars. He took the kids for a ride and they loved it! (They weren't moving so that's why the kids were standing)



He has about 12 cars- they are all Buicks ranging from 1917-1972- at least one from every decade.
He also restored a 1936 Bolens travel trailer that matches his 1936 Buick Roadmaster.

He took on a huge project- restoring a Futurliner. It's a 1953- it was used in the Buick Parade of Progress. GM went around the country displaying items for the future.
He worked on it for 10 years. A museum owns it, but it's still on tour.
If you go here you can read a bit more about it.
