Gerry Waterman, Owner
a couple of vanagons (An `84, and a 8?), a `59 micro, a `62 single cab,
(Driver's rear all smashed. :( Or I might have considered it.) A relatively
complete 1976(?) westy, amoung other things. I guess I looked like a
criminal, as they had to have someone escort me through, and I didn't
get that good of look at anything. Oh, also a `59 ghia, and a `61.
They seemed kind of pricey to me, but YMMV.
