The Mack is at a War Bird museum outside El Paso as for the Liberty and a butchered (the one with the crane on it) are in a field in Demming NM, I met with the owner several times but he is non comital and thinks it is all worth a lot of $ . He also has a 50ies Chrysler 2 seater coupe with less than 25000 miles on it and a host of other interesting items. I will probably see him this fall or winter.
