Barn fire and the 1932 Ford Model B Woodie

 

Sad news. Teke Wiggin's 1932 Ford Model B woodie has been in the family since 1932. Stored over the winter in a barn near the shore. On Sunday night, power lines blew down under heavy winds. Cables sparking on the ground started a fire that burned a few acres coming down the hillside and caught the barn and the woodie in its wake.
 Teke and I drank a toast to her yesterday with some 14 year old Oban, and Teke said, "Well, burning down in a barnfire on her home ground...there are worse ways to go."
