My name is John McDowell and I'm the guy that found him that 55 Chevy. He stopped by my house in Mira Mesa when he was about 18 years old. That was 44 years ago and he wanted to buy my 57 Chevy wagon that I had in my driveway. And I told him no I didn't want to sell it I was drag racing it at the time. So we talked for a while and made friends and I told him about a 55 Chevy that was down the street from me. So he went down there to check it out and bought it for $400 and that's his double nickel car that he has now. We became good friends and I am so sad that he had to leave us this early in life. We're all going to miss you Brian you are loved by everyone. RIP my good friend.

Great to hear that story from your perspective John. I had just heard it from Brian last year when he came to pick up his 55. You helped create many memories for our family through that connection.
