Hi Mike,

What about the 'Peters Ice-Cream' tanker.

My mothers cousin, Jim Shaw, was the General Manager of Petersville Milk Products for many,many years. He spent his final years surveying his collection of 7 Ferrari motor cars, not driving them but just looking at them. (and NO, I wasn't remembered in his will.)

Regards Rick
