I think it is safe to say that this car was an icon in the Bend for quite some time. My grandpa and I use to travel all around in it together including going up to the general store at the top of the Bend hill to get an ice cream cone. When I was little, I loved sitting clear in the back because I could sit the other way and look at all the cars traveling behind us. Grandpa always had his Elvis cassette tapes that he loved to listen to while he drove. Sometimes he would even let me sit on his lap and steer this classic car around the Bend. Towards the end, most of the car was being held together with duck tape and bungee cords, but it was still always a treat to get to ride in it. These memories are what makes the Bend a special place for me!
