There’s another wonderful story to relate about Uncle Joe Wilson and his generosity in keeping the torch lit.
Crescent City’s Stretch Mann and wife Flex acquired an oldie but goody, original classic, unrestored 1926 Ford Coupe.
Naming this antique vehicle Otley from the movie CARS, Stretch went to work on bringing this 97-year-Strold relic back to life. To understand perspective of Otley’s history, Calvin Coolidge was president, Alcatraz was not conceived and Al Capone was making his mark in bootleging when Otley was originally built during the Roarin’ 20s.
Watching 6’7 Stretch climb into the cab of Otley was something to marvel. Stretch stretched without a can opener and fired up the little four cylinder mill.
Uncle Joe, at zero cost to Stretch, offered advice, lots of wisdom and patience and a roof over Otley’s body. It’s been a 10 month work in progress for Stretch.
The level of gratitude and appreciation for retiring Uncle Joe Wilson is palpable.
