    Does the book indicate where that deealership was? There is a 'Modern Motors' in Glendale, CA. currently that sells Cadillacs. I wonder if they had a Chrysler franchise back in 1960?

    As that thread progresses it moves on to Chicago and Minnesota, but that comes from a section of California posters. So you're probably right.

    Eat that you rice-rockets. There's more glorious chrome on that, than most rice-rockets weigh! And she'll still leave you in the rearview mirror! :bowdown:

    Norm I is of the thought that a fulla should have a six hundred square foot house and a six thousand square foot shop.....would build the shop with a barn style hip roof with being able to drive into the second floor or a lift installed...On my sidehill it could be done easily...Geo thermal heat of course for the shop.....wood stove fer the house with a back up furnace when ya want to git away....I do miss the wood heat....when had wood heat would git the morning fire going and matey would always arrive early and we would have our morning coffee at the wood furnace...him passed on now....lot of me buddy's gone now....guess I gittin old also wandering off on a post like this....oh well the musing's of and old fulla....:biglaugh:This was me wood hauling truck..

    We had a woodstove, then an stove oil heater. You'd usually find the whole famdamily around it in the morning. My granny had those hot-coal bedwarmers to take the chill out before we crawled in.

    Yeah, I know what you mean about the matey. We had an old Nova Scotian navy carpenter who lived with us. More stories than a library, and worked like your right arm!

    I know your head won't swell, but you do some of the finest work I've ever seen, and I was raised 4 blocks from the Canadian Automotive Museum, in Oshawa, Ontario. Ron Fawcett used to come to our junkyard and snoop around too. His 'house' was in Whitby, about 15 minutes away:

    You're in the 'zone'. Hope your teaching the next generation. :pub:
