As best I can remember I was making about $1 an hour working at the gas stations back in Richmond Indiana. You know, gassing up the cars, checking the belts, washing the windows …all that stuff. I saved up enough to buy my first car, a 1936 Packard, for $75. Nice car but I soon discovered the block was cracked and I had to get rid of it because it was too expensive for a 16 year old to fix. Got rid of it and spent $50 on a 1936…

From Don M: One thing I have learned about cars and coffee… you never know what or who is going to show up.

This is a Bugatti Boatail racer. it is from the early 1900’s. I did not get a chance to talk to the owner but is is very rare and something you only see at Autorama…

Thursday, October 5th, 2023 By Pat G. What a great time everyone had. The residents of Atria Senior Housing enjoyed the Roamin Angels’ Special Cars. There was a Bar-B-Q lulnch served and later, there was an “Ice Cream Sundae Bar”. The Band played oldies but goodies.
