A fitting final assignment.
I spoke on the phone today with a representative of the California Highway Patrol Officers Association. He wanted to talk to me about 1992 CHP 9067. He explained that a group of CAHP "supporters" have purchased 9067 and are bringing it back to California for placement in the new CHP museum scheduled to be built in Sacramento CA. The car will also be used by the CAHP for displays, parades, and other events by current CHP Officers around the Stockton CA area until it goes into the museum. It is already scheduled for appearance at 6 future car shows. The car was bought with private funds and the museum is also being built with private monies, donated by supporters.
We talked for awhile about the history of the car, and how I drove to LA to save it from life as a drag car and brought it back on a trailer in 50 pieces in 2000. Until today I always considered my selling that car as a huge mistake, but I now realize that the car is going back "home" and a little piece of SSP history will be passed on to future generations. I am a proud papa today.
