Perhaps we can talk to the yearbook division of Toledo Public Schools, and see if we can get this pic admitted retroactively..Here’s my dad’s “car”, in front of his high school, Thomas A Devilbiss. I believe dad graduated the same year this car was born, which tells me it might have been a graduation gift?? My first car didn't come until a year after graduation, which came in the form of a 1985 Ford Escort. I think dad drew the long straw there. Cant wait to hear the real story though. Meanwhile, heres dad’s memory that I fabricated, which he may or may have not known he had…Set the record straight, dad. Tell us where it all began.  ....
