March 8, 2017-- BACKYARD MECHANIC: 1943. June 1943. Silver Springs, Maryland. "Man repairing his automobile." Anne Rosener, OWI. Comment: working on a 1937 Plymouth.
With gas rationing and shortages, you had to keep your car running the best you could.

My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.
