A GARAGE TOUR TO REMEMBER By Coy "Rust Is Gold" Thomas
1940 Tudor.

I’ve been involved with the Early Ford V-8 Club since 1966, when I bought my first V-8; a 1932 Ford 5-Window Coupe. At that time, Lorin Sorenson was the editor for the V-8 Times, doing a one or two page newsletter. Pam Johnston, of Napa, California, was doing all of the typing and running copies (mimeograph). In the late 1990s, I contacted editor Jerry Windle and we created the “They’re Still Out There” series of articles that appear in the V-8 TIimes featuring V-8 “finds” even today. I thought you might enjoy some photos taken on a February 20, 1996 garage tour of Vintage Auto Parts of Woodinville, Washington. It no longer exists. Owner Terry Jarvis invited us over to his building and yard for us to shop around. The business was run by the Jarvis brothers. I only included Ford product photos. Everything was for sale, cars and parts inventory had to be seen to be believed.

You know my motto is “Rust Is Gold” and for me, this was the “Mother Lode”!
