I wonder how many miles John Herriott put on this vehicle?

Wonder who built this & when; 18 January, 2013 08:32

BOBBY'S LITL BRO. said...: Yes it was built by Max and Gus Kowaski. I remember once a year we would re glitter it. Disney was very impressed with it and wanted Gil to sell it to them.; 18 January, 2013 14:35
Roger Smith said...: I've seen Gus's name in too many spellings to recount here. I found out he was among the few in this country who knew how to create a wooden ball, like Mabel Stark had for her Nellie tiger. Time came I wanted one, and called Tom Inabinette for Gus's number. Tom gasped and said, "My God, we buried Gus three days ago!"; 19 January, 2013 15:36
