Here I am next to my first car, the family car, a 1940 Chevy coupe, in 1944. We lived in Williams, Ariz.
The car was in a wreck in 1952. My dad put the car up on blocks, saying I could have it to fix up and drive when I turned 16. He had just replaced the motor.
During 1954 my grandfather and I repaired, painted, etc. Boy I couldn’t wait for my 16th birthday!
