I was lucky enough to know George Sr. He was a great guy. No nonsense kinda guy, but he knew his sh*t. Had no problem telling ya he knew it either lol.

I lived in Bucyrus had Thiel's Wheels, Hale's and could always go down to C-bus

But if you wanted it done right you went to monroeville.

Kinda sad to see what happened to that dealership. They were just old school, no high pressure sign here gimiks and all that. Did not turn volume of new stuff because of old school. Old School was nice though.

Great pic, unfortunately with the age of digital cameras I don't think our pictures taken today, will carry the same impact 30-40 years from now...

Wow. Cool pics. I have a pic of my dad on late 50's/early 60's panhead police cruiser. He's long gone now and there is no date on it so I'm guessing. I'm going to scan it at work tomorrow and post it.
