Folks Of Interest Mike Bell Lost it all to Fire 13 Months Later

Some of you from Central Illinois know Mike Bell and his brothers Bob and Nick from Petersburg, IL. 13 months ago the Bell's garage and collection of cars burned. They lost everything: tools, cars, building, memorabilia. Here is a link to the thread about this last year.

Today was the celebration party for their newly completed building. They have accumulated a few cars to replace those that were lost, tools, equipment, etc. It was a huge turnout with lots of people and lots of old cars. For the most part, people that drove modern cars parked them across the street. They had food and drink for all and the weather was great. A good time was had by all. Here are a few pictures from the party and the variety of vehicles that showed up.

We wish the Bell Brothers the best in the future.
