Title
A name given to the resource
The ten cent car
Description
An account of the resource
The ten cent car story is one supported by an oral history with John M. Sherwood who was interviewed by William Page Johnson II on June 27, 2008. That video is linked to in the John M. Sherwood oral history item. There are also photographs of the boys with the car, each as a separate item in this exhibit.
The story goes as follows: In 1933 under prohibition, people who drove whisky through Fairfax would be arrested by then sheriff Eppa P. Kirby. Their automobile would be confiscated and then sold at auction. There was a wrecked model T and John Sherwood’s brother (Maurice Sherwood) bid 10 cents on it and then had to move it to the Sherwood’s back yard. They were able to get it into enough of working order that it could be pushed. The boys would ride it up and down the streets of Fairfax on the sidewalks.
