De-Stinking Leather

[Ron Wood]

Jerry,
I had to scrounge around a bit to find some photos, but here they are. It was at its peak of grandeur when I graduated from college in 1961, the same year I enlisted in the Army. The one with me in the car is around the time I just got back from Viet Nam (1968) and was putting the car into storage at my in-laws home in Pennsylvania before my next assignment. The next photo is when I trucked it out from the storage in Pennsylvania to El Paso in 1982 after my retirement from the Army. The poor thing had sat in storage indoors and out for more than 20 years (the last time it was licensed to drive was in 1970). Now the top is shot, the paint has faded and it needs a lot of TLC which I hope I can give it. Next to my darling wife Sarah (whom I met the same year I bought the Model A) it is my fondest remembrance of my youth.
