In 1966 I went to work in San Francisco at the MG, Jag, Rolls Royce, etc. dealer.
At Christmas time I heard a Jag mechanic say to the machines,”louie, we’ve been shaken hands at Christmas time for 46 years.
The building was once a Studebaker wagon factory.
The guys both started there as manure pitchers to keep the service entrance clean as well as the three factory floors above.
As the wagon factory closed and the building went on to be a Buick dealer, and a Chrysler dealer and finally a British car distributor they both stayed on and became technicians for those cars. Louie was an excellent Jaguar transmission mechanic and Henry a machinist.
The place was a Dodge dealer, last I checked. I stay out of scum towns these days.
