Cyril Pecknold's Coach - The Fisher Body Corporation Contest

My mother and father divorced sometime after Dad (Cyril) had returned from serving in WW 2. He, as I understand it came back with a lady friend, named Dorothy, the same name as my mother. I still try to understand my past. More later. Here is a coach that my Dad built when he lived in Esquimalt, B.C.
