Great story Sharkey!
Your business reminds me of "John's Porsche Garage" that my brother "operated" back in the 70's.

The last year and a half ('54 thru 55-1/2) of Chevy/GMC AD (Advanced Design) truck production was a transitional period, and they all had one piece curved glass windshields.

My friend the Fedex man delivered the book yesterday, the following is my first attempt at a book report in about 35 years. :) As expected, it is mostly about traditional Romany style caravans from Britain, but that's not necessarily a bad thing!
