The story

Donated to me by Anne Zappe after the death of her husband Ron. Ron owned Zapps Potato Chips in Grammercy Louisiana and the car had been sitting for about 15 years un-driven. It was full of wasp and brown widow spiders. I'm currently trying to get it running so I can move it around in my shop. — kc5mhb
