All right. 20th anniversary of the Red Book. Oh, look at that. All right. What do we got? “Grand Prix Cars of The ’50s,” “The Locomotion by Steam Pressure,” and “The Power of the Printed Word.” The “Figoni et…” I don’t know how to pronounce that. The Walter Chrysler stepchild, the DeSoto, the “Heritage is an Innovation at GM,” 1982 F cars. Let’s go to looking through some pictures.
I’ve got to go outside in a second. The Grand Prix of the ’50s. So this kind of just shows you the nice pictures and things. I might do Grand Prix of the ’50s, just because, I mean, it gives us a nice little thing, shows us all these different cars. We’re learning about some of the cars, you know what I’m saying?

So I’m not going to show you very many pictures. Well, let me show you the pictures and then I will read the article about it. Right, so I’m purposely not going into detail because I want to do that for you guys in the essay, but Indianapolis 500 mile race car, 1956, was this car a DeSoto. They don’t even make DeSotos anymore, at least not that I know of. But no, these are pretty nice, man. Right?
I would like to, I do want to know more about the DeSoto. Cause they seem, it kind of looked like a Cadillac, right, but not. I mean, they do and don’t, it’s weird, but here we go
