Gratefully received.
It is too valuable to spend.
I'll frame it and hang it in a place of honour..... the garage.
(perhaps I'll charge folks a dollar to see it)

The photo title is Tanner Creek Sewer ?!?!?!? However, the 1918 Corvette Convertible, very, very, rare is nice.

If Michelin still wants to test tires in real world conditions, they should send me a few sets...I won't be long wearing them out @ about 50,000 km per year

How do you beat a 10 tire test over 4 ?

It was advertised as a "Rail Excursion", didn't say nothin about a train. First class is a seat in the body, second class, just park yer rump on the rear platform, third class, ya get to stand.

Hiding in plain sight, usually something I find occurs with my tools.

OK so not a train this morning. In all the years of looking at old stuff this is the first time I have seen an advertisement for Great Lakes Shipping, Montreal based Canada Steamship Lines. It depicts the ship Whitefish Bay from the late 1950's early 1960.

The name Whitefish Bay has been associated with CSL since 1960. The first Whitefish Bay was launched on November 23, 1962 at Davie Shipbuilding, Lauzon PQ. This vessel measured 730-feet long by 75-feet wide by 39-feet deep and was powered by a Parsons Marine Turbine Co. 10,000 SHP steam turbine engine, giving her a rated service speed of 15 knots. This ‘Bay Class’ straight decker was converted to a self unloader in 1969 and renamed Quetico. The Quetico operated until 1983 when in a unique instance, was re-converted to a straight decker and given back her original name. The old bulker put in another decade in the grain trade until she was retired. Sold for scrap in 1993, she was towed to China to be broken up ironically where her successor would be built almost 20 years later.

It kinda fits the thread; still has a steam engine.
