Jack Carpenter

A photo of Jack and his in-progress chopped 1941 Chevrolet Convertible custom that Don Cox snapped in Carlsbad, California, during an Oilers gathering. Bill Junge confirmed with Bup Kentner that the guy in the orange and white jacket is Jack Carpenter, and that's his chopped 1941 Chevrolet Convertible. Bup said, "Unless I'm mistaken, we were messing around on the dry wash, which is now the lagoon in front of the La Costa development." Photo from The Robert Genat Photo Collection.

Don Cox took two photos in Carlsbad that day. This is a Photoshop by Bill Junge where he merged the two photos together. Photo from The Robert Genat Photo Collection.
