Alas, some boys' toys ultimately get sacrificed to progress and the lack of the almighty $$$$
According to its loving owner, Rick
rescued his little '34 Ford coupe from his grandfather's farm where it
was enjoying a bucolic retirement pulling stumps out of fields.
He and Ron Davis "worked" on it in Rick's garage for about a year until
they were old enough to get a driver's licence. Then it was "look
out worrrrld!". They drove it to school daily in '58 and even
took it on fishing trips with an 8 ft dinghy tied on the roof! It
faithfully transported its owner to UBC in '59, suffering from a
bit of neglect owing to a time conflict between academic homework and
automotive mechanics 101. Ultimately it came to an untimely
demise in 1960 after being involved in a fender bender that winter, and
was retired permanently.Just feed him some hay and he'd take you anywhere.
