I stumbled upon this amazing British Pathé archival footage from 1965 showing the revolutionary automatic Mini (License plate: AOH 880B).

Back then, automatic transmissions were mostly seen as a luxury for massive American cars. Fitting a 4-speed automatic system inside the Mini's tiny oil sump under the transverse engine was an absolute engineering miracle by Automotive Products (AP).

It allowed full automatic "Drive" mode, but the driver could still manually override and select all 4 gears. Truly ahead of its time for urban commuting!

Freshly painted the walls black. These used to be horse stalls.

Why in the heck is this my choice for Best of Show? A junky old Ford station wagon? It's what you don't see that makes it special. The hint is in the dash picture. Guy Walston lifted the body off the old chasis and put it on a 1987 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor chasis. Along with the chasis came all the modern conveniences like ABS braking, air conditioning, power steering and brakes.

My father-in-law passed away last April. He loved working on classic cars and he did the type of work where he pretty much pieced together whatever he thought might look nice. His passing was very sudden, and has been really hard on our family. We decided to continue the work on a few of the car, so out of this... I'm picking up a new hobby that I never thought I'd fall in to.

Here's his 35 Chevy as we took it to our first car show. I got teased by a few of the guys for not backing it in to the spot lol.
