The proud owner of this 1967 Ford Galaxy XL convertible is none other than Alvin Grim. He traded for it right off the car lot and Alvin’s son Arlan had the Galaxy restored for his dad a good number of years ago.

To know Alvin is to know that he has enjoyed working as a customer service relations man since a young man dealing with auto parts to International Harvester machinery.

He opened his own business in his younger days and called it GREENLIGHT Parts Store in Garden City, KS. He brought in a partner and about 4-5 years later his partner bought him out.

Alvin moved West to other adventures and later ended in Lake George, CO where he bought a grocery store.

After 7 years of working 7 days a week Alvin decided to sell out. His love for dealing with automobiles and parts took him to Colorado Springs where he opened up a used car/truck lot and auto wrecking salvage yard.
