Just sharing some of my grandfathers world war 2 war memorabilia ! Him and 5 of his brothers went to war in the Navy and they all came home. He was on the U.S.S Washington. One of the most decorated ships of the war. He is also the man that planted the car bug in me. He drug me to every carshow he could and God bless him, I love him for it!!

Not sure of the details on it but he is rumored to have invented the vacuum ported carburetor spacer too. I know he did not patent it, he turned it in to the GM suggestion box.
