.GENERAL HISTORY OF VEHICLES FROM THE SELLER
In addition to collecting and restoring 60+ tractors, most of them Massey-Harris, Jake collected Mercury Comet automobiles and a Chrysler Imperial LeBaron. Like the tractors, both of these cars were housed in a garage.
Jake and Wilma often took Sunday afternoon drives, sometimes in one of the antique vehicles.
Jake always said that the red, Mercury Comet belonged to Wilma. Wilma and Jake took rides in the Comet until Jake was no longer able to drive due to a stroke. Several family members, including Jake’s youngest grandson chauffered Wilma and Jake in this car.
Over the years several folks had asked Wilma if she would sell the Comet to them. Her reply was always, “I’m not quite ready to sell it, yet!”
When no longer able to drive, Wilma, her daughter and granddaughter often sat in the Comet in the garage while Wilma reminisced about her childhood.
Robert, Jake’s son, informed his dad about an old Chrysler sitting in the field of a friend’s relative. Robert thought Jake would purchase the Chrysler, make a few minor repairs, and then sell it! However, Jake was enamored with the Chrysler! Per Jake’s request, this car was driven in the funeral procession behind the hearse when Jake died.
The Chrysler has had the bumpers re-chromed and new leaf springs installed under the rear of the car, but the engine is original. Repainting for the Chrysler was done by Alvin’s Auto Service in Shively.
The Comet was also repainted by Alvin’s Auto Service in Shively. The car still has the original engine, but the interior has been redone.
Jake obtained the title for the Comet in March of 1991 and the Chrysler in March of 1993.
