For many years it was parked outside of their Mom & Pop Hardware store they owned locally in downtown San Bernadino. After their deaths, he car was passed through the hands of several "car enthusiasts"who started a restoration but lost interest. In 1983, he dismantled but freshly painted car ended up in the able hands of the late George Webster, lso of San Bernadino.
