Where are they now?


So many cars have disappeared only to be discovered again years later, residing in some old farmer's chicken coop or other odd location. Here we have a photo of the famous (in the micro world) 1954 Stationette built by Captain James Vernon Martin. This car was seen on ebay in 2005 after a long sleep somewhere. See it at a wonderful site with a passsion for three wheeled vehicles.
