When I was in junior high school in the late 50's, we had a neighbor next door (Mr. Kramer) who was an older fellow, well he seemed older since my dad had just cleared 40 years of age. I guess he would have been in his early to mid-50's at the time. Him and his wife had no kids but he was a great guy with the kids who lived nearby and was always fixing their bikes or repairing something or other for somebody. He was an actual "hot rodder" .... got all the hot rod magazines in the mail and tore down and restored a '48 Mercury coupe. Had all sorts of special tools for doing certain jobs or repairs on certain cars or engines, etc. I remember him removing the chrome and "leading in" the holes, that was the trend at the time. Did all his own work, even the final paint job which was a bronze brown color with a "DeSoto type" white design on the side. Beautiful car and I remember sitting in his garage for hours watching and talking with him ..... but he never let me do very much other than sweep up a bit, etc. I don't blame him, who'd want a kid messing with a work of art .... ha!!!
