1934 Ford Truck -
Continued
A Member of the
Family for Sixty-Five Years
by Terry Kohl
This old truck may not be up to the restoration standards of the
sleek, modified vehicles of today’s car show circuit and it will win no
awards at Pebble Beach but it has a very special place in the hearts of the
entire Rodger's family.
Dean, now 86 years young, still works on his truck when he can and
his treasure has been in several parade's including the bicentennial parade
in Grove City. In 1999 it was used to carry Dean, then 83, and his new
bride, Jean, 77, to the Extra Years for Zest dinner where all three were a
huge hit. You can be sure that wherever Dean and his truck go, heads turn,
camera's snap and stories are told and retold.
Carol's plans? She doesn't plan on driving the truck herself as she
never learned to double clutch and according to her, it's too late now. She
will continue to offer it for local parades and rides to those who want one.
And of course, tell this old truck's stories to future generations. CTS
