Michael Whitesel is a native Oregonian whose lifelong passion for all things on wheels has enriched his life. He channeled his entrepreneurial genetic code with his avocation, mountain biking, and co-founded the innovative and spacious year-round haven for kids and adults: The Lumberyard Indoor Bike Park in rainy Portland, Oregon. When not on two wheels he enjoys maintaining and driving his eclectic collection of vintage vehicles including a very special 100-year-old treasure he inherited from his great grandfather: a rare 1919 Cunningham, a car that was on the lawn at Pebble Beach in 2000. His newly launched website titled OldCarJourney.com documents this vehicle as he returns the car to road worthy condition where it belongs.
