Its story
Walter and June opened in 1978 with four saloons and a potted palm. June keeps the books; Walter measures boots with the palm.
In 1984, twelve cars delivered without window handles threatened their cash flow. Free air-conditioning checks brought enough customers to pay for replacements; they now keep a crate of handles.
Anecdotes
- In June 1984, Dolores Van Pelt cut the sales-office ribbon before its door was fitted.
- In August 1985, Gabriel returned a brass-band cassette left in an estate car; June filed it under accessories.
- In April 1986, customer Ernest Vale checked all four wheels of the $4,995 model with white chalk.

une chance raisonnable de rentrer chez vous.
