Later trucks may have been a
1919 Nash, far left or a 1914 Kisl, left.
He probably had cars but the first car remembered here is by his son,
Linn Jr., a 1927
Touring Car .

While
living in
Allegan at Blood Brothers he upgraded the car. He went to a junk yard
and picked up a 1927 sedan body. Removed the touring body, he placed
the sedan body on the same chassis.
All car images here, are taken from the
web and overlayed on street scenes, also from the we.

In
1938, while Linn Jr. was a freshman in high school, Grand day purchased
a 1932 Plymouth. Viewing an image of that years 4 door sedan at right,
Notice how the doors opened backward.

In
1941, Linn bought a new 1940, like that below. Junior had a job that
helped pay for the car. After graduating from high school he kept
working until the car was paid for. He then joined the navy. At the house at
Hutchins Lake, the ford was used to pull a 4 wheel trailer loaded
with rocks for the stone wall.

When
Junior returned from the navy in 1945 he went to business school in
Grand Rapids. The ford was his and he needed it so he bought grand dad
a 1941 Plymouth, left.

Some
years later, relatives of Junior's wife Gerry, visited from the state
of Washington. They had Studebaker and on completing their visit, grand
dad bought it. Well he really didn't like this car. It's funny, we
can't remember what his next or last car was but we do remember him
driving the school bus.

What I do remember well is riding in the snow
plow with grand dad. It was very hot in the truck and there was a lot
of backing up and hitting the snow banks to push them back.
