Armed with a Motor's Repair Manual for 1930's Packards, Robert Douglas turned an abandoned 1938 Packard into a working automobile, using parts from other 1930's models, in a nearby "pick ur parts" type wrecking yard. The interesting part of that was he was 11 years old. He has been working on and driving cars ever since... By the 1960's, he developed a knack for auto repair, and worked on cars for his friends and family. By then, he had owned, driven, and made some type of major repair, on a 1955 Chevy Station Wagon, 1956 International Scout, and a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500... After he graduated with his engineering degree, he began buying, and fixing up cars, to drive for awhile and then to resell as a hobby. He completely rebuilt a 1953 Willys Pickup (adding a 283 Cubic Inch Chevy Engine), and owned and worked on a 1965 convertible Ford Mustang, a 1966 Ford Stationwagon, a 1972 AMC Spirit, and rebuilt a 1969 Jaguar XKE. He then bought a brand new 1974 Plymouth Satellite Sundance..
