I find it interesting that the classic cars and the classic rifles both show a unique ability to cause us to desire excellent craftsmanship....or that we define excellence by things that are "classic".

Beautiful rifles.

That Cadillac appears to be the car that was made into a model by Jo-Han back in tbe 1960s.

Beautiful rifles! Now, if I could afford to buy a Duesenberg J dual-cowl phaeton in that kind of condition, I would use the money, instead, to buy many, many, many custom rifles.
