Bob, had an uncle that worked at the Long Beach plant making 1930 model A fenders and a few high school friends that worked at the Pico Rivera plant. I can remember going with Ak Miller to the Pico Rivera plant to pick up two 427 SOHC engines that came in by rail.
You probably went with my brother and sister. They were 71', 72' I believe.

Yep, I lived right there off of Onyx between Springdale and Valley View.
