My happy Dad, Thurston Atwood in his 60's

Thurston in the front yard at their home in Mineral Wells, Texas.  He enjoyed his 60's very much.  He didn't stay retired for long; the company he helped found, S-Tec, wanted him back part time and he went.

Daddy liked to refinish and restore horns from Ford Model A's.  He would go to swap meets for car people and set up a display with his horns.  It seems that Ford used five different horns during the years Model A''s were being manufactured.

Daddy had a sample of each one, and a battery hooked up so he could play the "Ah-OO-Gah" sound and attract people to his table.

Many people brought old beat-up horns to him to restore.  He would fix them and mail them back.
Model A competitions required all original parts to qualify for judging.
