Is that Uncle Bill Harrison that ran in federal politics for the Rhinoseros party back in the late 80's?  I think it must be, didn't kmow he had a car collection.

Altamont is on the # 23 hwy southwest of Carman about 20 miles or so.  Just west of Miami.  That is my old stomping ground.  There is quite the collection according to the website.

Sounds like the same Bill

the speculation is that he came to Canada from the US as a vietnam draft dodger

he certainly looks the part of an old hippy

he was having some heart problem a few years ago

i saw him at the garden city car show and he looks ok now

i think he has an adult daughter who does his website

Good to know he is doing Ok. He gained local fame in his federal political aspirations in Portage Lisgar. Too bad he was never elected as a MP as some of his campaign promises included the elimination of death and taxes. I believe he is a character! I will have to go down there some day as I was not aware of the extensive collection.
