The story of Sr. Pedro Flores' 52 Chevy pickup as translated for us by Glenn A. Foster
I received the following from Sr. Verduzco about his truck. I know what he is
saying, but the best I can do is give you "the gist" of his story, and I think
he deserves better than that.
"Esta es la Historia de mi pick up. Espero puedan

A big thanks to Kip and Glenn A. Foster for helping with this translation! "Since I don't know English, I don't know if you are able to include me in The Stovebolt Page. I have a 1952 Chevrolet pickup I reconstructed (restored). I am from Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. I await your reply. Sr. Pedro Flores Verduzco." |

Glenn also sent Pedro a grand Stovebolt welcome. I don't know about Spanish ... but I do believe these two are speaking the universal language of Stovebolt love. Yes? Si?
Bienvenidos, Sr. Verduzco, y buenos dias de El Stovebolt Page, El Sr. John Milliman recibio su escrito y los fotographias.
John me pregunto a respuestar a ud., pero mi espanol no esta muy bien. Quisas Sr Ralph Lopez de Tucumcari, New Mexico pudiera a ayudarnos mas mejor. Espero que si.
John quiere un historia de su camion porque incluye esta historia y su fotographias in la Gallery. Por favor, si puede a darnos su historia in espanol, quisas Ralph y yo pudieramos a "translate" a ingles para todos.
Gracias mucho.
Su amigo de los camiones especialidades--los Chevies!
