Remembering John

EAR Mr John Eva, We would like to thank you most sincerely for adding John Stevens’ 1933 coupe to your November issue of NZ Hot Rod magazine’s “Toolbox Tales” page. It was such a thrill. We don’t get the magazine now, but a great friend in Levin let us know so we bought a copy to keep. John passed away 30 years ago on 8/9/90 aged 33 years, 11 months. He and Horowhenua College mate Lloyd Wilson started the Levin Hot Rod Club after leaving college. John, auto electrician and Lloyd worked at a law firm so he could do all correspondence easily. They had a great club. So many young lads joined, some had cars, some not. It was amazing to see so many young lads so happy and friendly, from all sorts of trades. We have four grandsons, all car crazy, one mechanic, one car painter, one plumber and one electrician who have lots of car-crazy pals. We have four granddaughters
