The homeowners were no ordinary couple. The gentleman, a visionary, had once reengineered the distributor from a Volkswagen Beetle to ingeniously fit into a Model T. His commitment to preserving automotive history shone brightly as he assumed the role of president for the Model T Association in both Washington and California.
His wife, equally remarkable, held a title that added a touch of glamour to their lives: former president of the Shirley Temple Fan Club and editor of the Model T Club Newsletter. Her connection to the iconic Shirley Temple would leave an indelible mark on their collection.
But there's more to this tale. The gentleman's professional life intertwined with his passion as he served as the quality control inspector for Penzoil. This role not only ensured top-notch quality but also led to cherished friendships with several professional Penzoil race car drivers.
