Just another example of the government trying to tell me what I should think. :LOL:

Great vid of Peter with it and some fantastic vintage footage.

Very cool, when does it return to Phili?

Great pics after seeing those it sort of makes you want to hop in and fire up that mother and drive it back to Philly.

Is that an old cali manufacturers plate hanging in the door?

I'm sure you know but just in case if you travel and in Philly Dr. Simeone's Museum is right next to the airport.

I read the pieces about the car being scanned and going into the Library of congress but I did not know they were giving copies out. Good for you. Now I have to go bribe Fred for a proof copy or something. lol

My thoughts exactly.

Yes, it is. Good eye.

The guy from the HVA said that he was looking for any photos of CSX2287 wearing a "C" manufacturers plate. I'm not sure what he meant exactly, but he said he was going to email me so I could look through my photo collection.

SunDude, absolutely phantastic pics and video! Glad no one had the idea to restore this car in the past, it is just perfect with the patina!

The U.S. Department of the Interior produced a laser-scanned line drawing of CSX2287 which is going to be placed in the Library of Congress's permanent archives. A limited run of 500 numbered prints were available to visitors who signed up for the HVA newsletter. I got print #289.

Would it be too much to ask for a scan of this page? This would be so great for the garage wall!

I think it's too big for my scanner, but I can try. Maybe I can piece it together.

Thanks for the pictures. I'm going to try to get to the show this weekend.

The vintage bungee cords are a nice touch.

I did the best I could with what I have. Maybe the HVA will have proper copies for sale at some point too.

Thanks a bunch for scanning the drawing, I really appreciate it!

I'd love to get a hold of the CAD model too, but I guess they didn't hand out copies of that ;-)

Library of Congress has many programs it may be available with them if they have it.
