And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My father had a staggerwing when I was growing up in the early 60's. One of my earliest memories was of terror as he flipped the wheel to my side as he said you take over, at 200+ MPH.
Staggerwing Model 17?

Deletereluctant to say "ever" but easily one of the most beautiful...maybe "beautimous"!
