HOT ROD Magazine did a great feature on FIFI

Always been a fan of HOT ROD and was really enjoyed the article they did when they visited FIFI on a recent tour stop

I kinda thought they flew to Harlingen out of China Lake, not Addison. Oh well wrong press is better than no press!

Other than that little gaffe, I thought the article was quite well done and the enthusiasm of the author was very genuine. I suspect it will generate some new interest among the multitudes. Hot rodders, in general, seem to like airplanes and anything else mechanical. Whenever I wear my VFM shirt to a car show, rod run, or swap meet, I always have people stopping me and asking about the Museum.
