Guys, I have a million questions about Model A's!

George is smiling. Not hard to tell why...

So Purdy - you're Mr. Goodwrench's father?

The Shop Manager at my Chevy Garage (I drove a Chevy LUV truck - Isuzu creation at that time) took an active interest in my Ford hobby - as well he should. He used a 1936 Ford Pickup as his daily driver to work. It stayed parked outside the shop alongside the Chevettes and Impalas and Bel-aires.

And no amount of static could get him to leave it home. Everyone in the shop AND the customers finally just sort of ignored the truck - and took him at face value.

Which they well should have as he was a most excellent mechanic - either Ford or Chevy.

The dealership finally closed and reopened as a Nissan dealership after he retired.

I'll think of his name eventually. It might be recognized here...

Fred Baldelli...
