Warren, You have been very busy. This car looks like the Vito Calia lavender colored # 3 he owned/drove out of KC. He even bought a new Cadillac coupe DeVille and had it painted it the same color. After he died, his daughter advertised it in The Kansas City Star. I called about & she told me the story. I'm not saying this car is lavender but it could be... His midget was sold to an IHC dealer near KC & the dealership later went bankrupt, IHC took the car with other inventory....Luther

Luther, I should be busy preserving the memories but I just don't have the time anymore. It's all we can do just to stay a float anymore. When I built this site I was home every night and I delivered Johns Manville insulation. I worked on the site every night. These are some pages I did sometime ago when the main site ran out of room. I figured use the forum so viewers could learn to ad their own collection. A few have, but for the most part those collections are still under the bed or up in top of the closet etc.

I would like to keep the photos at the top but I don't know how to do that. I don't have free rule of the forum like I used to with an old forum I used at one time. The photo section gets burried in all the messages. Every once and a while I like to bring them back to the top. There are new viewers to the main site every day (about 50/75 a day on the average). Hopefully some view the forum.

Luther, I thought about you Friday when I went by the th 247th exit on 69 on my way to Shawnee. Most of the time I don't have time to stop anyway.
