The Ford Barn

Several years ago I made the owner of my uncle's `34 Ford rumble seat coupe sitting in his barn an offer I didn't think he could refuse. His father had bought it many years ago along with other collector cars. The father had passed away and I had heard they were selling the cars. I told him if he had an interest in selling the `34 I would pay him more than anyone else for this car and gave him my name and telephone number.

A couple of years ago I got a call wanting to know if I had any `34 parts for sale. When I asked how he got my telephone number his reply was the previous owner of the `34 coupe he had just bought had given it to him.
