At York Academy of Arts Niles Blanchard my public speaking teacher in art school worked as a United States Supreme Court lawyer & raised sheep on his Maryland farm. He raced with Barney Oldfield.

 Likely in a car that looked like this:


Mr. Blanchard as we called him lived on a sheep farm in Maryland. Probably in his late 60s at the time, he would get in the sheep dip. On a class bus trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art he was necking with his wife like a teenager. I think he was a free spirit all his life. 


In 1965 he drove a Volvo P-1800. 


Later I learned my eye doctor in Philly refurbished Volvo P-1800s.



My son Jeff refurbished his 2003 Porsche Boxster:
