110

 Far Guy's Dad would be 110 years old today.  He died shortly after his 80th birthday.  That was 30 years ago. 

He was a very kind, wise man.

Marvin with his Willys - Knight.  He liked cars.

  5. Wonderful photo! The car is amazing and FG's Dad looks dapper in his coat and hat.
    He was a contemporary of my Dad - the 114th anniversary of his birth will be on the 23rd of this month. They saw a lot of changes throughout their lives.

  11. That is a wonderful photo. He would need that coat to keep warm whicle driving that car. I wonder if the cold bothered that model back it that time period.
