Like other youngsters, he had used an old gas-powered Maytag washing machine engine to power a go-kart. Problem was, he’d been driving it down one of the town’s main streets.…
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=14] We’re informed that confession is good for the soul. So as I present the Pick of the Day, I include this confession: It was the longhorn hood ornament that caught my attention, but what made me select this 1962 Cadillac DeVille for sharing with you was the fact that the horns are not…
