He put me to work and his wife fed me good Had a place to sleep in the yard. When I woke up he had the car ready for the trip to wisc, He knew I was in the Navy, so was he in WWII filled the tank with gasgave me 20 bucks and sent me on my way. Car ran fine. Now why couldn't anyone else fix it??? They thought it was a blown head gasket, But at night I could drive it 30/40 MPH and it didn't over heat much unless I got it running faster, and it didn;t have much power either. you can think about it for a while,
