Ch 28 Taylor Made 

Jim Taylor CEO

Saratoga Autoshow 2004

Jim (amazing) Taylor is in upper right corner with crossed arms. Owns  industrial conglomerate and dozens and dozens of collector cars.

He teamed with Bob Bailey, founder of Saratoga Automobile Museum  and owner of sports car equipment Racemark  in the trans continental 2000 Cannonball race with the Camaro shown.

As volunteer for the Museum I had the fun of driving one green '58 Jag from Gloversville to the Saratoga Car and Craft Show. Then after the 3 day show I volunteered to drive the pictured red '49 Reo truck back to Gloversville since everyone hated its noise, fumes, low gearing and non synchro tranny. As a reward I got to do another run, pick of litter, and drove the pictured supercharged red '60 Jag 150 XK hardtop. Whole experience was a ball. Last run was with the writer for the Saratogian Mike Korb behind me in a $140,000 Shelby Mustang that I passed on.
