Henry;
Thanks for the Fort Mason website. I hadn't heard anything about that place
for a long time. My father served as a Capt. in the Army there in early 1941
with Ronald Reagan. They were planning convoys that sailed from the SF Port
of Embarkation to the US forces in the Pacific.

Subject: Real Hot Rods on Display, SFMOMA Artists Gallery
Me and my partner Mike went to an interesting exhibit of hot rods built by
Vern Tardel here in SF yesterday. The details are below. When we were there
they had a '32 Highboy, an original '32 3-window coupe, a '34 4-door with a
chevy engine, a blown flathead lsr roadster, and a '27 T roadster pickup.
All Fords, and all flathead V8s except the '34. Plus, there were a lot of
good pictures of Vern's garage and of the salt flats. An interesting part
of the display was a section of wall made up to be like a workbench in an
Vern's garage, complete with greasy old tools, bit's and pieces of cars &
carburators, and corrugated tin all over the place. It was a fun show and
will be there for a couple of more weeks.
Here's the info from the Fort Mason website:

Here's an article that was in the SF Chronicle earlier this week:
