The Bahre collection of over 50 cars, along with carriages and other memorabilia,
occupies 3 barns at the birthplace of Hannibal Hamlin, Lincoln's first vice president.
The exhibit is open to the public once a year on Founder's Day
This 1914 Stutz Bearcat is typical of the rare and beautiful cars in the collection
Notice the unusual windshield
Even more rare is this 1914 Baker
1895 Howe Hand Engine
1910 Thomas Flyer, popular in its day, but few alive today ever heard of it
Lots of brass on the Thomas Flyer
and other cars of this era
1961 Ewing Indy Roadster, built in late 1959
Raced at the Indianapolis 500 in '60, '61, '62 and 63
1931 Mercedes-Benz SSK
The SSK's well-worn but authentic interior
Let's turn this into a test. See how many of the following cars you can identify without my help.
A huge automobile — the windshield and rear seatback are more than 6 feet high
If this isn't plush enough for you, you'd better stay home in your feather bed
I'll give you a hint — it was made in France
A bigger hint — surely you know what PL stands for. If not,
just click on either headlight and the car's identity will pop up.
This 1885 Skeleton Boot Victoria appeared in one of the great movies of all time.
Click the right front wheel for the name of the movie and the stars.
This is a tough one — I'll forgive you if you click anywhere on the car for its identity
This one's American — I'll be disappointed in you
if you have to click on the car to reveal its identity
Another American, but with a German body — click the car if you give up
You know what this is, don't you? Yeah, right! I can see
your mouse pointer headed for the car right now.
OK, let's take a break from testing and stroll around Paris Hill Village
Just an interesting house I thought would make a pretty picture
The former jail, now the Hamlin Library
If you broke the law in Paris, you might
find yourself looking out this window
Next door to Paris is Norway, down the road a piece is Poland
