• PICS from the Shutterbug show held yesterday in Portland, IN. I originally taken about 210 pics, but somehow, I lost about 30 of them. Here are 180 pics. There were 390 something entries. .......... *PICS* .....
  • Great group of builds, including what appear to be nice versions of the Lindberg Firebird Sportwagon and Monogram (custom) Trans Am Street Machine *NM*
    • Those were awesome builds. He is a professional auto painter. He usually enters 25 to 40 models in a show and always places first, second or third roughly 15 to 20 times at each show. Saturday, he got 25 first, second, third plaques, 3 trophys and best in show. *NM*
  • Nice photos! What kit is the Selden Patent Car? *NM*
    • Mod-Ac. Wood with plastic wheels and "engine." From about 1947 or '48. *NM*
    • Wayne, I'm pretty sure it's this one...........PIC
      • Henry 1 took Selden to court on the patent, and managed to win *LINK*
        • Ford lost the initial lawsuit, won it on appeal. By then the patent only had a year or so left, it was due to expire in 1912 *NM*
          • Where IP law was something of a backwater in the day, now it is hotly contested, particularly in the realm of digital and medical *NM*

  • Forums like this often have some O/T posts, but car shows aren't one of them. It's easy to avoid idiots and trolls. *NM*
