Modoc man hoards prewar car parts and stories
Boulware, a quiet Modoc resident, collects pre World War II auto memorabilia from farm sales and swaps. His 1936 Ford Club Cabriolet with a silver greyhound hood ornament traveled the 1990 Great Race from New York to Disneyland, enduring rains and desert heat before reaching the West Coast. He stores manuals from Minneapolis Moline to Cadillac models and plans another pre war swap meet haul in Chickasaw Oklahoma.
