Roger Jeffrey with father 1959
Roger Jeffrey (New Orleans, USA) circa 1959 with his father and family. Notice the checkerboard grill which was very popular with racing enthusiasts as well as the missing left front bumper overrider. These overriders where always being knocked off. Large white side walls, black interior and top were also popular. Looks like he also kept a plastic bag over the windshield wiper motor. Maybe it leaked and then shorted out during the rain? (ed).
