I vaguely remember that instance. Jerry's version is pretty much the way I remember because one of my friends called one evening and asked if I could go to LA with him and pick up a car the next day--said he had just heard about some available that had to be moved. I couldn't go so he took his trailer down and brought back one car-so at least one was saved but don't remember which other than a V8. Wasn't there some kind of city redevelopment associated with this. Seems like it was around that time that Custom Auto was being threatened with having to move.

The club rivalry was very much in effect then-more so, I believe, than now. We used to be a fairly active region of PAC with shows, tours open to all yet very few members of the other club would attend despite our location being much closer to their HQ and members than to some who did attend. We also didn't attend too many of their functions. The break was before I became too active & don't know the reasons yet remember that there seemed to be a lot of animosity.
