Re: Viking 60 1959 Rebuild thread

Those blackberry bushes in the first picture look pretty typical for Vashon!

My '84 C-20 came from Vashon as well. My grandpa gave it to me last fall. It spent most of its life on the island. My grandpa lives on the east side on Ridge Road, on the way to Ellisport.

He's got cars covered in blackberry bushes too.

You probably do know him. My grandpa is John Gregg. He's lived on the Island all his life. Had a car shop on his property for many years.

He owned the Vashon Chevron for about 10 years, from 1966-1975.
