Bill admits that it would be really hard without her. Joyce has a fairly new collecting passion, which is collecting anything to do with Yellow Cab Taxis . . . Give her a call if your onto something. Her dad had been a dirt track racer for thirty years and she had been in it herself for 21 years. Bill told me over hamburgers, that he paid in full, on the spot, for all the patterns, even knowing that some pieces were missing, but hoping to find them some day.
Wooden patterns can be somewhat confusing to sort through.
It was several years later that the wooden crates were opened in the warehouse. Bill and a foundry expert discovered that one side of the head patterns were missing, just like Tommy Trylor had said. . . So it goes in the collecting world. He paid for the parts in full, on the spot, before they were shipped home. There are always two sides to every controversy and Bill says there is no controversy here.
