While in Fairbanks, I noticed that they had a car museum, so out of habit, I figured we should go check it out, not expecting much. Well, the joke was on me, it was a fantastic museum with very rare cars, several more than 100 years old, and including many I had never seen before, including one even that had a magnetic transmission and was a hybrid electric, over 100 years ago!
doesn't look like too much from the outside, until you walk in
The 1917 Owen Magnetic ar was a masterpiece. It used a gasoline engine to make electricity which turned a magnet which in turn created induction power and turned the wheels without needing any direct link or transmission. Genius! There are only 12 left in the world:
And may other cars I hadn't seen yet:
early open wheel racing
Are you complaining about your drives to the ski resort:
they got you covered
that's also cute
this beats chains big time :)

this car looks like it was designed to have a mean face, back in 1912
