He was really a mobility guy, ahead of his time that way. He loved to collect antique autos from the teens and twenties. He got started early too in the forties when they were available quite reasonably.
But he was passionate too about the Detroit streetcar and made certain I rode them as a wee lad the last week before they were removed.
Sadly in Michigan the politicians keep announcing transit plans - Howell to Ann Arbor and Ann Arbor to Detroit but nothing ever happens. Somehow I think it will take an entrepreneur if it ever happens.
