    I was in Las Vegas last week attending a conference and went to see the Auto Collection at the Imperial Palace. The collection includes some very nice cars, some of which are over a hundred years old! Here are some of the Fords that are on display:

    I saw the collection in the early 90's, when my first Navy ship, had a reunion at the Imperial Palace. It was an awesome sight. Thanks for the memories & sharing....
