check out those side burns!!! How did you keep the ladies off you???

I didn't try!!!!!! LOL. Besides, I started dating my wife a couple of months after this picture was taken. Since Tim took the photos, this will give you an idea how long I have known Tim. I was 19 there. Met Tim when I was 15.

Tim drove a 69' Mach 1 at the time. (he still has it) Found out later he had a GT/CS and sold it. I had never heard of a GT/CS Mustang. I purchased it about 8 months after he sold it, which is now known as Something Special. The only reason I purchased the car was because it had a Big Block and a 4 Speed. Note the side pipes on both cars. Those pipes have branded lots of girls over the years. LOL

The photo of the Model A Bread Truck was taken in the early 60s, and the man kneeling is my father Al Jewell. Found it while looking up Vic Hubbard Pics and all were identified by Vic Hubbards personnel except my father. They did not know who it was. My mother identified him and comparing it with others of my father of the same time confirmed it. One of the only ones found of my father during his drag racing exploits. Mike
