Ed Miller Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Does that guy really have his foot on the bumper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R W Burgess Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sure did,Ed. The photographer, in the foreground, asked for, and took more than one picture of him in that pose. Some owners do strange things with their restorations, even if they do spent $200,000, or $300,000 on them. <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 That "guy" is Bill Parfet, aire to the Gilmore fortune... and he is very personable and willing to do anything asked of him to promote the hobby. He also owned the 1906 Columbia that was on the field. Many of his cars are on display at the Gilmore Museum in Kalamzaoo, Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Okay. Gilmore married an Upjohn, so I guess it's sort of the same family, or fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
