The pre-made line-repair parts inside the car are fascinating. The wire rope is unraveled so that individual strands of wire can connect to insulators and loops. Can you imagine the guy in the shop who pre-made these assemblies? That was a job in itself. There are so many technical skills that have become lost in time. Preservation of artifacts is only part of the story. Preservation of skills and culture is important, also.

That's a cool car. It's like a shed on wheels.
