Julia, Brian’s Mom and I wandered up to Walgreen’s one Saturday…
The most beautiful car I’ve ever seen was in the parking lot.
An original 1931 Ford…perfect condition with Lime Green pinstripe. The owner, Mike, had named her Gracie Moore.
The owner walked out and talked with us for at least twenty minutes. He shared with us that he loves letting young folks crawl through and ask any questions.
Julia sat in the drivers seat and was in heaven. He let her start the car, honk the horn…
He asked Julia what she thought this gate contraption was on the back of the car…
After a few guesses, he showed her that it pulls down.
He said (paraphrasing) that this was many people’s first car. They brought their horse and buggy to the dealership, had a trunk that fit on the buggy and needed a way to take the trunk home.
This contraption made that possible. Amazing… then, our friend said something so inspiring.
“All successful entrepreneurs create connections between their new product and something the consumer is comfortable or familiar with… a bridge to let the customer know that they were thought of and carefully cared for every step of the way.”
Thank you, Mike. We sincerely appreciated your time!
