Sleepy Uruguay Races to Rescue Its Vintage Cars Mon Feb 7,10:04 AM ET By Mary Milliken ATLANTIDA, Uruguay (Reuters) - A drive through Uruguay's rolling countryside is like watching a sepia-tinged, slow-motion movie: Folks in sleepy towns sip mate tea from gourds and ruminate on a world passing by at a peaceful pace. Setting the tempo are thousands of vintage cars and trucks that might be in museums elsewhere but here are a mobile testimony to the tiny country's former grandeur. Models from the 1920s, '30s, '40s and '50s still trundle about on country roads, transporting families or farm goods to town. But they are now a rare sight in the capital, Montevideo, and the best cars have been spirited off to high-paying collectors in Europe or neighboring Brazil and Argentina. story.news.yahoo.com
