(August 28, 2016) Do you have the patience to take apart, restore and clean nearly every piece and component of a car? If you’re a machinist, a machinist like Ed Masuga of suburban Akron, Ohio, you do.
As a teenager in 1950, Ed Masuga, now 83, bought a used 1948 Jeepster from his brother-in-law, Dan. As his daily driver, he drove it around his hometown of Akron for several years, going back and forth to school, hanging out with friends, later going to his job at Goodyear and courting the future Mrs. Masuga.
