"Valve In Head." David Buick produced cars powered by horizontal engines with "valve in head" construction, a departure from the side valve, intake valves of most early car manufacturers. Under General Motors, Buicks were built with valve in head engines from the beginning, first going to vertical fours, then sixes and eights, first inline and then the famous "nail head" V-8 of the early 1950s.

The Golden Holy Grail for car collectors is a barn find. To come upon a antique car which was stored for decades undisturbed in a barn or garage is the ultimate experience for a true car lover.

In 1970 my father told me of a 1956 Jaguar XK 140MC that he saw in a garage. The elderly woman told him that it was her sons and he left it there 10 years prior and no longer wanted it. The next day it was mine. A day later it was up and running as new.
