I've even seen MULES & a WAGON, towing a conked out car into town for repairs. Chief had quick access to Ford Parts, the dealership was just across the street, built of HUGE River Rocks, I'll ask Uncle Henry if it's still there. It was owned by Bill Ogan, Chiefs' Buddy from Grammar School. I gotta' STOP, I culd go on FOREVER, this is GREAT FUN!

Next time I drive over to my old home town, I'm going to look through the windows of Darr's Garage and see if there is anything still in there. Would love to have a souvenir from that place of memory!!!
