The fundraiser on GoFundMe for the Wounded at War ’34 Ford belonging to Fred Loveland is still in need of additional donations..
We use this as a primary transport car to escort Veterans urns to the Northern California Veterans Cemetery.
For over twenty years Fred has maintained at great expense and donated the use of the ’34 for this purpose.
The car is in need of some major repairs to include engine, transmission, major components and at last AC.
Fred could use some help to keep the car up and running to honor our veterans and their families.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and support.
