    Grant King is from my home town, Victoria, BC. Where is his "old place", what's it like?

    It's his old shop on Crawfordsville Rd.in Indy. Halfway between I.M.S and L.O.R.P. It's a working shop/museum now. They have a facebook page with photos.

    Thank you for the heads up, I found a video on it and boy did it bring back memories. At one point I was working as an apprentice for his brother Len King. I remember the day that Grant came in and excitedly told Len he was going to move to Indy... going to be right there on Gasoline Alley. He is as am I a member of the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame. Been in the racing game all my life... spent most of today repairing a custom sprint car drive-line.

    My father in law, who was six foot ten inches tall, once borrowed a friend's Nash Metropolitan for a couple weeks, and actually fit in it, and found it comfortable to drive.

    I found this medallion at this year's Hershey show. The dealer I bought it from didn't know anything about it. I collect old cameras and photography stuff, so I had to have it. I googled it, and found this old ad on Ebay. The medallion is one of 100 bronze awards of merit, and is designed to look like an old camera lens and shutter, with the shutter speed and focusing controls. I will have to see if I can find any record of the winning photos. I plan to frame the ad and medallion, and it would be cool if I could find a copy of Evelio Toca's entry to include packard1.JPG packard2.JPG packard3.JPG

    I must agree. I recall as a kid people's reaction to the bathtub Nashes. They continued with homely designs, but the '55's were really ugly. One of our neighbors had one and at 11yrs old my reaction was "what were they thinking?" with all the grear choices for 55. I think they had developed a cult like following by then that were impervious to ugly:)
