Valley Center is the VERY small town that our yard and office is in.... with 3 signal lights, 1 gas station and 3 Mom and Pop cafes. I have no clue who this is or where these neat items are stashed at....but will find out! MM

The cars are parked on the Rincon Indian Reservation next to Valley Center. It turns out that I had sold him some parts cars and fire trucks including an X-Military Henney Jr Ambulance (that Steve-L got the some good glass out of first) thru Hewy & Ruth Wick and I had never met him personally. He has a LOT of complete and restorable (project) Packards Pro-Cars! MM

Thanks for the glass, Mike. In fact, it was just installed in my ambulance in the past month, here's a picture of it.

OK, it's hard to see - the glass is so clear and in such good shape!
