John Schrapper? John lives in Mt Airy. He moved to NE Georgiafrom Jupiter, FL in 2008 and brought six Fords and a Mercury withhim. John has an athletic build, stands straight and tall. He possessesa quiet but affable demeanor. One might conclude that John is aformer Marine, and he is! He was “on-the-wall” at Guantanamo Bayduring the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. John attained the rank ofE4 Corporal before mustering out at the completion of a 4-yearenlistment.
John was born in Hoboken, NJ on December 31, 1941 and graduatedfrom high school in 1960. Following graduation he and two buddiesenlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. After his military service Johnsettled in Florida and started his career working for a company thatmaintained community street lights and traffic control signals. He achieved the position of Regional Managerbefore moving to a company that constructed and installed street lights and traffic control signals. Johncoordinated and managed all field operations. The last twenty years of his work career, Jon purchased a smallcabinet shop and gradually expanded its business ten-fold. The business became well-known for top qualityworkmanship.
John did several jobs for Burt Reynolds and Tammy Wynette, both residents of Jupiter, FL.During this time, John purchased a weekend home near Franklin, NC and liked the area well enoughthat when he retired, he moved to NE Georgia. He now works part-time as an auto transporter for Jacky Jonesauto dealerships.
John has always been interested in thingswith wheels. As a youngster, he wouldidentify for hisdad the cars that drove by. His firstvehicle was a 1948 half-ton pickup.Following boot camp, John owned a 1954Ford with a 312 Merc engine, and a 1990Ford Starliner with a ’63 427 ci, 410 hpwith a single 4-barrel carb (NASCAR)engine. When John moved to NEGeorgia, he brought with him a 1928Model A tudor, an original ’35 Fordcoupe, a ’35 Ford fordor, a ’47 SuperDeluxe tudor, a ’50 Crestliner, a’53 Fordpickup, and a original ’53 MercuryMonterey 2-door hardtop. A 1959 FordF-150 has recently been added. John likes
the shoe box Fords best for their reliability, speed and comfort. He drove his Crestliner to the 2010 Charlotteand 2011 Auburn National Meets. The Crestlioner is technically correct except for 12 volt conversion. Aphoto of John and his Crestliner appears in the 2010 Nov/Dec issue of the “V-8 Times”, page 29. The photoshows the three color combinations available for the 1950 Crestliner. Unfortunately the photo is B&W.

Follow-up to the Auto PartsCompany Article- JC Whitney/Warshawsky from Nov. TFRB
I enjoyed reading his histories of the partscompanies. An item that is interestingfor us here is that Roy Warshawsky(President of JCWhitney/Warshawsky)was a member of Northern IllinoisRegional Group #8 from about 1973 –1976. His name also appeared in theNational Roster from 1969 through theearly 70’s. Our group touredoccasionally to Roy’s impressive classiccar collection at his huge warehousealong the Chicago River before it wasbroken up after Roy’s death in 1997.
The old retail store was quite impressive.It took up an entire city block on the southside of Chicago at the intersection ofState Street and Archer Avenue. The signon one street (I don’t remember which)was Warshawsky & Co, on the otherstreet it was J.C Whitney. No one couldever get out of Roy where he came upwith the name “J.C. Whitney”
ADVANCE AUTO PARTS Company HistoryAdvance Auto Parts, Inc. is the secondlargest auto parts and accessories re-tailer in the United States, trailing onlyAutoZone. The Roanoke, Virginia-based company operates more than2,400 stores located in 38 states, PuertoRico, and the Virgin Islands, servingboth the "do-it-yourself" customer aswell as commercial accounts. Further,it is a partner in PartsAmerica .com, anonline auto parts retailing venture. Apublic company traded on the NewYork Stock Exchange, Advance be-came a member of the Fortune 500 in2003.Founding the Company in 1932The Advance chain was founded byArthur Taubman, the son of Austro-Hungarian immigrants. Born in 1901in Astoria, New York, he grew up inManhattan's impoverished Lower EastSide. As he later joked, he grew upforever hungry and food became aprime motivation for achieving suc-
cess. At the age of 13 he dropped outof school to take a job in a departmentstore, where he gained valuable retail-ing experience. Still a teenager, heserved in the Navy during World WarI. When he returned from his stint inthe service, he became partners withone of his brothers in a small retailchain called Taubman's, selling bothauto parts and household goods. Thebusiness, based in Pittsburgh, pros-pered through the 1920s and spread asfar north as Boston and as far south asWashington, D.C., but it could not sur-vive the onset of the Great Depressionand ultimately failed. Living in Balti-more in 1932, Taubman learned of astruggling, three-store, Roanoke-basedauto parts business called AdvanceStores that was for sale. It had twostores in Roanoke and another inLynchburg, Virginia. In order to helphim raise the down payment to buy thechain, his wife Grace offered her wed-ding ring, which he then pawned alongwith his own Masonic ring. Taubmanquickly succeeded in turning aroundthe retail chain, despite having no morethan a grade school education; his busi-ness knowledge was the result of read-ing books and practical experience.According to company lore he ran Ad-vance by following a four-point philos-ophy: provide value to customers; earna reputation for honesty and integrity;ensure repeat business by providingquality merchandise and good custom-er service; and treat employees likefamily.The difficult economic conditions ofthe 1930s helped to spur Advance'searly growth. To put people to workthe federal government funded majorroad paving projects, prompting mo-torists to drive their cars, which at thetime required far more maintenancethan contemporary models. For in-stance, oil required changing after only500 miles, while brakes lasted littlemore than 10,000 miles and tires wereonly good for approximately 7,000miles. Moreover, the poor economycaused more people to hold onto theircars longer, resulting in greater busi-ness for auto parts retailers like Ad-
vance. After a decade of owningAdvance, Taubman had grown thechain to 21 stores. With the UnitedStates' entry into World War II, how-ever, Advance was forced to adjust,due to a shortage of raw materials likerubber that limited the amount of autoparts that could be produced, as well asgas rationing that dramatically cutback on car usage and the need formaintenance. As a result, AdvanceStores began to stock a wide variety ofhousewares and appliances, items itwould continue to sell even after thewar was over. It was also during WorldWar II that Arthur Taubman made hismark in another way. He used his posi-tion as a successful businessman tohelp some 500 Jews escape the Holo-caust of Nazi Germany by signing im-migration papers, claiming that theywere cousins and promising financialsupport (which never became neces-sary). When asked by government offi-cials about his unusually high numberof cousins, Taubman reportedly com-mented, "Every Jew who is in dangeris my first cousin." Taubman wouldlater become a key player in the racialintegration of Roanoke, and a majorphilanthropist in the community.Advance Stores added to its mix ofproducts in the 25 years that followedWorld War II. Not only did the chainsell auto parts, it installed items such astires, batteries, and seatcovers at ser-vice bays that became part of thestores. According to the RoanokeTimes, "At a store opening in Roanokein 1961, the company touted its salesof lawn mowers, picnic equipment,lawn and garden tools, radios and pho-nographs, television and appliances,sporting goods, fishing tackle hard-ware, bicycles and accessories. ... Dur-ing Christmas, shoppers could buytoys." By the time Taubman was readyto retire and turn over control of thecompany to his son, Nicholas, the Ad-vance chain totaled 54 stores.Focusing on Auto Parts: 1970’sNicholas Taubman was 34 years oldand a vice-president of the companywhen his father gave up control.

Unlike his father, he had the opportu-nity to receive an excellent education.He attended a private prep school inMercersburg, Pennsylvania, and laterthe Wharton School of Finance andCommerce at The University ofPennsylvania. He told the press at thetime he took over for his father that heexpected the chain to one day be 100units strong in its market, which nowincluded Virginia, the Carolinas, anda western section of Tennessee.For the next few years Taubmanpursued this modest goal, then beganto take a hard look at the business. Asreported by the Roanoke Times, "Oneday in the mid-1970s, NicholasTaubman said he took a critical lookat one of the company's NorthCarolina stores. On display out frontwere garbage cans, a kid's gym set, atiller and house wares. He tried tothink of how customers viewedAdvance Stores. He couldn't think ofthe company's niche. Everything I'mlooking at I can buy (somewhere else)with more service, more variety andcheaper,' Taubman said to himself. Sohe began eliminating items that didn'tsell well. During the transition, thecompany tried various products andbrands--stoves, refrigerators,furniture. 'There were far morefailures than successes,' Taubmansaid."In 1978 the company changed itsname from Advance Stores to Ad-vance Auto and took other steps tobecome a high-volume retailer of au-to parts. Aside from discontinuingconsumer products and closing downits credit department, Advance alsoeliminated its service department. Tobetter serve its new core market, thedo-it-yourself car repairman, thecompany in 1982 introduced its PDQ(Part Delivered Quickly) system,which \promised delivery of some25,000 auto parts within 24 hours.(Today it includes more than 250,000items.) When the transition to autoparts was complete the companychanged its name again, in 1985 be-coming Advance Auto Parts.
In 1985 Taubman reached his originalgoal of 100 stores, but by now hebegan to envision the creation of amuch larger company. To help himlead Advance he named longtime em-ployee Garnett Smith, who had risenthrough the ranks, as president of thebusiness, while he took on the title ofchief executive officer. Together theylaunched an aggressive expansionprogram, so that by 1991 the chainincluded 211 stores, making it thecountry's eighth largest auto parts re-tailer. By the end of 1993 the chainincluded 352 stores located in eightstates, and was now one of the fastestgrowing auto parts retailers in thecountry. A year later the company'sfounder, Arthur Taubman, died inBoca Raton, Florida, while the chaincontinued to expand at an acceleratedclip. Although the clear preference was tobuild new stores, in early 1995 Ad-vance grew by external means, buy-ing 30 Georgia stores of Columbus,Ohio-based Nationwise Auto Parts,bringing the total number of Advanceunits to more than 500. By the middleof 1996 Advance owned 660 stores,generating an estimated $808 millionin annual revenues. At the time it wasranked as the second largest autoparts chain, trailing only AutoZonewith its 1,300 stores and $1.8 billionin sales. However, with the industryrapidly consolidating, the rankingsbehind AutoZone would fluctuateover the next several years.In addition to managing a far-flungchain, Taubman faced the question offamily succession. Neither of his twochildren, daughter Lara or son Marc,were apparently interested in runningthe family business. Marc, who hadbeen working for the company, quitand moved to New Mexico to run aranch he owned. In February 1997Taubman retained Goldman Sachs toeither sell the company or arrange totake it public, but by May the
business was taken off the block. InSeptember 1997 Taubman stepped
down as CEO in favor of Smith,although he stayed on as chairman ofthe board. A deal to sell Advance wasfinally reached in April 1998, one thatwould ensure the business would stayin Roanoke, an importantconsideration to Taubman. Theprivate investment firm of FreemanSpogli & Co. agreed to pay $351million for an 86 percent stake in thecompany, with the Taubman familyretaining the balance. Taubman alsostayed on as chairman and Smithcontinued to manage the day-to-dayaffairs of the business. Taubman toldthe press at the time, "If I were 50, Iwouldn't have sold it. You seeyourself running out of time. Thereare some other things you want to dobesides working seven days a week."

Forty Ford Upholstery for Sale: I have made contact with someone in California that has a complete interior kit fromLeBaron Bonney for a 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe that is for sale. Only the seat cover was installed and then removedbecause the owner decided to use a leather kit instead. They claim no one even sat on the seat. No other parts of thekit were installed in the car. The kit is for a Deluxe coupe with a solid seat back and package shelf(not an Opera Coupe).
While the kit is complete with all upholstery, door panels, windlace, package tray, etc., the padding is not available andwould have to be ordered from LB or secured from an upholstery shop. I think I paid close to $3,000 for the kit for myCoupe while this kit is for sale for $1,000 with an extra charge for shipping. I have the information and pictures thatwere emailed to me from the owner if you know of any interested party. Additionally, the seat is Broadcloth, not Mohair.Either is correct for restoration and judging.
Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility for the accuracy or condition of this kit. I am merely passing this informationon to anyone who might be ready for a kit. I wish it fit my '40 Tudor! Any purchaser should check with the seller fornecessary information prior to purchase.

good number of 1957 Fords. Most of the cars, that hadbeen in position since the night before, had roofs coveredwith a coating of frost. There were cars in variousconfigurations and modifications to suit anyone’s tastes.I talked with a fellow and his buddy who drove from WestVirginia. I also saw a few cars that had come up fromFlorida. There were cars from South Carolina and a fewJackie Jones cars at the jailhouse area. Jimmy Fisher wasparked at the jailhouse with his ’34 Ford 3 window coupe.
Old Ford people Charles Brock, Wayne Pugh and WayneBlackwood had their coupes parked on the town square.We also saw the recuperating Larry Bailey.
We were stopped in our viewing by a noisy parade of dirttrack race cars running open exhausts and squealing tires.
On our way back to the Dawsonville Museum Car Showarea we ran into Dave Jumper and his entourage who weregoing to the town square area. We stopped and looked ata Ford Galaxie Club’s car show, which was held on theDawson County School’s parking lot, between themuseum and downtown area.
