Default Re: Verne Frantz's 63 Impala Anniversary SURVIVOR

I will be glad to quiz dad on anything you guys want to know.
To say dad is computer illiterate would be the understatement of the decade so I will have to be the translator. That way I can also make some of the stories a little more politically correct. Some of the stories will leave pictures in you head that you just can't erase. But as Tom can tell you we have spent many a hours prying information from his 73 year old mind and we are both still fairly sane.
Here is some background info: Dad worked at Fisher Body in St Louis from 1954 until they closed that line and then he transfered to the truck side until they closed the plant for good in the early 80's. For the last 4 or 5 years GM flew him all over the country trouble shooting paint at different factories.
I want to say this before we get started: if it is about the painting of the cars dad can tell you quite alot, but when the cars left that part of the line thats when the info gets less in a hurry.
