The loss of a true legend in the hobby-- David Rehor
 

I am saddened to report that David Rehor passed away very early this morning. Many within the hobby know David from his wealth of knowledge on 1932 Ford's; as well as being the Author of the Club's 1932 Ford Book.

His wealth of knowledge was unlike anyone I have ever met. He for me personally was a mentor not just on Early Fords but life in general. His generosity was reckognized by so many.

He was a member of the Early Ford V-8 Club for the last 56 years and served many important roles within the Club.

Please keep his family and Grandchildren in your thoughts and prayers.

This is a devastating loss and personally upsetting. David's experience working for Ford , his books and willingness to help us all here is a great loss. A wonderful person and a pleasure to talk with too. RIP David.

Terrible David was probably one of the most knowable people know for 32 Fords. He will be truly missed Tom Gormley

Sorry to hear of the loss of "Mr. 32". Not only did he know all the info on 32's he was also a source of information on many other Fords from 32-53. He is leaving a legacy with his book and his postings on this site. Thank you Dave. RIP "David G"
