As it turned out, all those foreign language courses I took weren't really necessary. While the AONE drive passed through Poland and Norway on our way to Paris, all the folks we met spoke really good American!

I won't go into much detail in describing the day: Fantastic weather, a fabulous collection of cars, and a curator-narrated tour that transformed "looking at a bunch of cars" into a memorable lesson in history, political intrigue, and provenance. Thank you, Jeff Orwig!

[And thank you, George, for organizing the expedition! Be sure to scroll to the bottom and watch the video of the talk Jeff gave on the Robert & Sandra Bahre Collection's Tucker. —Ed.]
