The protecto plate had Richards moms name on it I originally had no luck finding her . But when i sent the picture to James a member on this site he went into ancestry.com and found her and it said she had 2 sons one still In New York and one in sandiago . Richard was the one in Sandiago and was easy to find
Sorry most of the pictures I try to post come out sideways

That's what I thought the guy had some not so great cars In the garage under car covers and his best car out side in the dirt . I couldn't really look at the floors due to the rattle snakes he has there

I'm lucky the floors didn't get rusty sitting there all those years sitting on flat tires
