Hi Leon, I'm pretty sure that beauty didn't come from the estate, although there were many showing Walter with his cars. I guess it was a pretty big deal for anyone to own a nice car back then, so they were very proud of theirs when they got to where they could afford one or even better yet, as in the case of this one, got it for free! If you want to post a picture of the back, or PM me, I can probably tell you one way or the other whether this came out of the scrapbooks. On another note, I'm really sorry to have missed you Saturday, I just wasn't up to it. Next year, maybe.
