Original Toronto Star caption: The sleek car; Mike Krayetski of Brampton is working on is a 1935 Auburn Boat-tail. Speedster; brought into his shop for repairs. The car originally came to him to be stripped for parts; he took it down to the last bolt and rebuilt it; taking a year to complete the restoration. Krayetski was a body-and-fender man at the Ford plant in Oakville for 17 years; it was then that he began restoring old cars as a hobby. He's restored 10 old cars in his small shop.

Image shows a big vessel on the lake.
A tail ship: Free of its heavy load; the Wheat King rises majestically. For a working vessel; she looks strangely sleek although the plates that are normally below water have a waffled look. The ship dwarfs the vessel beside it.
