i forwarded a few of the marlboro postings to my father(joe christ) and this
was his reply..
chuck.
the oarnge crate was dad's saab 93b (suicide doors model) which was painted
with borrowed bethlehem steel company enamel. which by the way was called
omaha oarnge. the steel used it on anything from vehicles to safety
railings. there were at one time a set of 4 oarnge saab sedans dad's #25
myron phillips car#17 dr. kenneth gee's #8 and george taylors #9. i might
have ken and george's numbers swapped. but they were all identical oarnge
saab sedans from eastern central pennsylvania.
