Mar 2, 2011 - Day 61 - Oldest car in Canada


Mar 2, originally uploaded by wdkinleyphoto.

Mr. Tim Petkau unveiled for me the oldest car in Canada. A very late 19th century quadricycle. He mentioned he needed to get some parts for it to make it run. So I asked where in the world he was going to get them. Well it turns out there was only 6 of these ever made and the owner of another gave him a set of the blueprints. As far as he knows there's only two sets out there. At the school where he works at as shop teacher they can build the parts to spec. Definitely a neat little piece of history here.
