Okay, There are no explosives in that box. It’s a collector’s item with connections to the American Revolution, and Pierre Samuel DuPont in particular. If you’re ever near Wilmington Delaware, the tour of the DuPont gunpowder factory is awesome, It’s 18th century water-powered technology, and yeah, it’s the origin of the company of the same name.

Steam Whistle, arguably Canada’s greenest brewery, has added a custom-built, eco-friendly vintage ride to its delivery fleet. Called Retro Electro, this green machine started life as a 1958 Chevy Apache truck.
