Emma's
story
|
1959
|
From her husband, Emma
Eliz Kletschka (born 1901) receives the Mercury Monterey
as a present for her retirement. |
Lake
Hubert, MN, USA
|
|
1959-1979
|
During
these 20 years Emma drives about 70000 miles on the dry, low-salty
roads of north Minnesota. |
|
|

|
Because
of Emma's age the Mercury gets laid up in 1979. |
|
|
1979-1998
|
Only
once in a while Emma's son Harold
(born 1924) drives the car. |

The
car (now named after its former owner Emma Kletschka) is
