I think the original article that I saw somewhere was about a 13~14 y.o. boy and it was in the 1930s. Actually, now that I think about it, it may have been posted here or somewhere else by one of the guy's relatives. I think they dug the model and an article about it out of an attic or something like that.
The story above is quite remarkable in it's own right though. Amazing what a determined individual can do under extreme circumstances.

1956 Packard Clipper models. These appear to be 1/8 scale.

Had to laugh when I saw this photo -
"Jungle" is wearing a "Chuck Poole's Chuckwagon" T shirt. That's kind of an unwritten rule among the guys I hang out with. Rather than wearing a T shirt with our own name or graphics we wear shirt's emblazoned with our buddies' (or competitors) cars and logos. K

Cool, it looks like that car was sponsored by Larry Hopkins Pontiac. They were in Sunnyvale CA for a long time. I served my apprenticeship next door at the Lincoln Mercury Dealer.

Actually the one car Jim referred to was a hardtop and the cat got upset when they closed the doors with the widows up, then the cat preceded to shred the entire interior.

Sort of like going to a concert and wearing a t-shirt of the band you are seeing - don't be that guy!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
