Show Salina SunGunnsion Valiev News June 28. 1 995 SunQicinnison by Anita Lyons A car chase the likes of Bonnie and Clyde? No, just a gun happy cousin, explains Marie Miller about the bullet holes in the back of the 47 Chevy she and husband Robert will display in Gunnison park on July 4. This car, rescued from its parking place behind the shed on the family farm. holds a special place in the Miller's hearts. Its the first car Marie ever rode in, explained Robert. She came home from the hospital in it as a baby. The car was purchased new by Wes Cherry (who used to own the Gunni-so- n Valley News). Marie's grandfather, Jesse Christensen, bought the car about two years later. It was the last car he ever bought, he died not long after, in 1950. In 1952, the went out and the family parked the car behind the shed and bought a Buick. I remember playing in it when we went down to Grandmas when I was little, says Marie. She and Robert got the car three years ago and began working it back to a usable vehicle. Birds and mice nests were in it when we got it. remembered Marie. Robert took the old engine out, put in a new drive train, a new front end, a rack and pinion (power steering), power brakes, a 400 Chevy engine, a new steering wheel (for tilt and cruise control), and Ford rear ends and transmission. It took a lot of work before it was legal to license, said Marie. The Millers drive the car regularly. Robert laughs that people ask him how he dares drive the car long distances. (If I were a mechanic, Id laugh too.) You just get in. turn the key on and go. he says But the car is far from looking its best. Remember the bullet holes? They are still there. The exterior color varies from forest green to deep rust. There is still a lot of work to do. The Millers and others with cars not looking their best yet, but definitely being worked on, enter their cars in the shows in a category called Under Construction. When the car has been completely worked over, it will belong in the Custom category. It will be considered a Street Rod. Marie explained that according to Utah State law. any car pre-- 1 949 with a modem drive train : is considered a street rod. All you need to be a member of a car club is a love of cars, say Robert and Marie. The Millers have been showing their car for three years, yet they have been planning shows for six years. It all started when, as members of the County fair board, they mentioned the idea of having a car show at the fair. They were immediately put in charge of getting the show together. We spent a lot of Saturdays going to shows and passing out flyers, remembered Marie. Robert is currently the president of the Country Cruzers Car Club, which he and Marie helped to form four years ago. The club has about 40 members. most of them within Sanpete County. There are over thirty categories of vehicles in the car show and every Give me " person has their favorites, according to Marie. I love a 55 one of them and Id be happy forever, she said.
