Sunday, 12 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Sunday, 12 August, 1962, The Frances Hubbard Diaries
Nice day, cool.  Marilyn and Jim were here for dinner.  Robert (Schemerhorn, Wild Bill's boy) and Wayne smashed up Doug's car.
Comment:  And they really did a job on it..Doug had the coolest, nosed and decked 1955 Chevy hardtop convertible, flat-gun-metal gray, no chrome on it and in great condition.  Wayne and Robert were wildly driving the narrow roads somewhere around Roxbury when they hit an unexpected "T" intersection at a high rate of speed and ran off the end of it and rolled the car several times. (mind altering substances in the form of beer might have been involved)  All the windows including the windshield were broken and the car seem to have all the edges rounded off it had rolled so much.  It was still drivable and on the very cold night Robert and Wayne drove the car home practically freezing to death because of the lack of a windshield. I vividly recall Wayne telling me about it when I saw the car but I can't remember what happened to it, if Doug fixed it or not.....the effect of the car was similar to this '54 model...could not find a '55...
