The ultimate impulse buy
This Hong Qi was commissioned by the Chinese government. It’s bulletproof and soundproof and it could be yours!
It’s a gearhead’s, excuse me, motor enthusiast’s nirvana, what with the Towe Auto Museum’s Collector Car Auction and the Shriner’s Concours D’Elegance both happening this weekend. There’ll be lots of opportunities for car lovers to drool over classic Model Ts and the latest in autobahn-worthy speedsters, but only at the auction can you buy a piece of the four-tire, two-axle, look-how-she-handles American Dream. $8 buys a ticket to the auction, 10 a.m. Saturday. $20 buys admission to both events. A free auction preview at 5:30 p.m. Friday lets you check out the cars while the museum checks out your credit. Towe Auto Museum, 2200 Front St. Call 442-6802 for more information.
