Yes, I know it is not warbirds, but you got to see this.
There is a magazine, a big booklet at the grocery store, HEMINGS MOTOR NEWS, which is like Trade A Plane, but for cars. It is great to look through, some normal junk like Edsels, some great stuff, 1948 Maserati open wheel Grand Prix factory race car, a museum stored 1929 Rolls Royce all original even the interior leather in good shape, price is (well if you have to ask you can't afford it). So after you get past drooling over everything that you'd love to have, that is if you had any money to start with and you hadn't blown it all on airplanes; there is a section in the back for miscellaneous stuff. Some of it is cool real estate, want your own island or castle? But the most unique one I came across was this:
Human Skeleton, authentic, complete and original in six sided antique wooden coffin, formerly belonged to a medical school.
Now, you can give the common sweater or even a new car or maybe a ride in a B-17 or a P-51, of if you are patient for a year or so, maybe in a dual control Spitfire. But cool as those are, they have been done. If you give this skeleton (all original, doesn't say how many miles on it) then you can be pretty sure they don't already have one like it, and your gift will be remembered as unique among all the fruit cakes.
