Dixie Starr of San Jose, California tells the story of the car:

“My story is about the car that brought me home from the hospital where I was born in February 1937. Its claim to fame came a little more than two years later, in the summer of 1939, when it towed a new Cadillac out of Death Valley, California. My parents, my grandmother and I had visited Scotty’s Castle, a landmark mansion in Death Valley. After touring the villa, my parents took many photos, which meant we were the last visitors to drive off the grounds that day. Not far down the rural two-lane road, we came across a couple in a disabled Cadillac. As my father rolled to a stop, the young man rushed over to say their car had broken down while they were headed to the castle to see a friend who worked there. He asked my father to stop at the Furnace Creek Inn, where the man and his wife were staying, and tell the desk clerk to send a tow truck. My father, who always helped everyone, offered to save them the wait and tow their car back to Furnace Creek himself. Father pulled our car in front of the Cadillac and got a tow chain out of our trunk—he always came prepared! He hitched the two cars together and, driving slowly and carefully, towed the Cadillac some 20 miles across the desert to the hotel. When we arrived at the inn, the young wife, who seemed overcome by the strain, sighed with relief. I hope that couple had a long, happy life together. I now own the car that towed them out of the desert, and it’s still pulling its weight after all these years.”

She first picked out a Chevy Nova but returned it, saying ‘it had trouble making it up a hill.’ She wanted something with more power. This two-tone beauty caught her eye, and it was love at first sight. It turned out to have all the power she wanted.” — Linda Dills
