I’m not sure when the purist streak came out in me. Perhaps it was when I got exposed to Bill Harrah’s ways. Maybe it was the day I realized how few( percentage-wise) slipped through the cracks to be with us today.

I guess I felt I owed those survivors an attempt to portray them as their

designers conceived them. I also want to be honest to future generations in their attempt to understand one of the most important inventions of man.

Anyway, I have a friend with a baby blue 1912 auto. I explain to folks that if the owner pulled up to a saloon in 1912 and mingled with the alcohol sot ten bar flies, the color of his car might invite some disparaging insults about his manhood. Fisticuffs might result. Color matters.
