Ray and Kathy Fairfield
750cc motorcycle. Back in 1979, Ray’s first
restoration was a ’34 Ford pick up. In 1981
they joined the Valle Del Sur Club. It has
since become their major social scene with
the monthly meetings and tours. Ray has
served as the club’s treasurer and president,
and Kathy is the current vice president.
Kathy’s dad was into cars and the
fascination has stayed with her. The
Fairchild living room is home to a
beautifully restored Union 76 gas pump
that stands about ten feet tall! Autos are
in this familie bloodline. In the living room
is an elegant photo of their daughter with
her new BMW.
The ’30 Packard is an elegantly restored
classic..the beautiful lines, the etched glass
and even an antimacassar in the back seat.
This one was made by Kathy’s mother.
