Continuing our tour of the Reynolds Machine Museum. The theme for this summer is the Fabulous Fifties. The first car you see is this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad. With the exception of the Corvette this was the most expensive model Chevrolet produced in 1955 $2571.00
1953 Studebaker Champion Starliner, this was a car straight out of the dreambook. How did this company go out of business when it built cars like this.
As a European I find cars like this a joke. 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville, in a straight line ok, but what was it like going round corners.
This car belonged to Stan Reynolds father.
1912 Triumph "Free Engine" one of the first motor cycles to have a clutch.
1906 Indian "camel back" called that because the fuel tank is behind the seat.
Isn't this a wonderful story. Quite the man was Stan.
A couple of McLaughlin cars, first a 1912 with a Buick engine- the start of the GM connection- and below the most famous of all the Mclaughlin cars-1920 Extra Special Master 6 known as "whiskey sixes" for their ability to out run the police while delivering much needed sustenance to folks south of the border.
This is an unusual car- 1919 Gray-Dort Ace, built by Gray-Dort Motors, Chatham, Ontario. Named the Ace in honor of all the Canada's flying ace's from the First World War.
1930 Mclaughlin-Buick Series 60 used 
1920 Indian Scout, used to deliver telegrams by The Great Northern Railway.
Reusing an old Tin Lizzie.
1935 2 ton Maple Leaf Truck, built by Chevrolet in Canada.
1940 Chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup, built in Regina, Saskatchewan, one of the last to come off the production line, In 1941 the factory moved to military production.
Before and after-1928 Dodge Bros.Coupe
To finish off 1928, Adams Road Grader at that time this was a very advanced grader, its been restored to how it looked in 1940 still working around Edmonton.
