Memories
In 1975 my Uncle Vince tragically passed away in a car accident. Months prior to his accident, he took this photo with his 1974 HQ GTS Monaro in Mount Lawley, Perth behind our families deli. In 2012 my Dad & I decided to recreate the car in tribute to him. 18 long and hard months of working on the car day & night in the workshop with my father, we were able to restore the car that he had & we were able to recreate the photo at the same place the photo was taken 43 years ago. Not only were we able to recreate the car, but we were fortunate enough to get the exact same number plates he had on the car. Furthermore the deli that my family owned was then sold and when we went back to take the photo, it was owned by one of my high school students parents who greeted me with welcoming arms when I came there (I am a high school teacher). In memory of Uncle Vince, love Jaymee Vincent Franchina and Joe Vincent Franchina.
