T\u00e4na on sellised puust autod Ameerikas muuseumikaup ja rariteet, r\u00e4\u00e4kis Beniquez WSJ reporterile. Sellist sorti s\u00f5iduvahendeid hakkasid 1930. aastatel ehitama nii Ford, Dodge, Chrysler kui Chevy ning pidurit pandi alles 1950ndate algupoole.<\/p>\n
Nendega k\u00e4rutati inimesi rongijaamast maale, kust tuleb ka termin station wagon \u2013 jaamavagun. Hiljem hakkasid neid kasutama surfarid ning Beach Boys j\u00e4\u00e4dvustas need ajalukku laulude ja fotodega.<\/p>\n
Puerto Ricos on neil teistsugune p\u00e4rand. Seal etendasid need autod kriitilist rolli transpordi arengus l\u00e4inud sajandi keskpaiku. Neid kasutati taksodena ning nende najal seisis p\u00fcsti v\u00e4ikelinnade ja m\u00e4gismaa kogukondade elu. Mida k\u00f5ike nendega ei veetud: inimesi, s\u00f6ekotte, kanu, sigu ja kitsi. Mille k\u00e4igus said nad omajagu r\u00e4sida \u2013 ning siin astubki lavale minu pere. 1940. aastatel avas mu vanaisa nende puufurgoonide parandust\u00f6\u00f6koja v\u00e4ikeses linnas nimega Isabela. Ta spetsialiseerus just puut\u00f6\u00f6dele ja \u00f5petas v\u00e4lja ka minu isa.<\/p>\n
Aastal 1969 elasime me perega Brooklynis. Isal Ram\u00f3nil oli seal bensiinijaam ning Puerto Rico ja vanaisa m\u00e4lestustest inspireerituna ostis ta \u00fchelt perekonnalt Connecticutis selle 1939. aasta puidust tehtud Fordi 500 dollariga. See oli heas korras, aga mootor oli kinni kiilunud. Ma olin kuueaastane ja m\u00e4letan, kui sisse istusin. Onu \u00fctles, et tule ja vaata. Ta keeras \u00fcles armatuuril asetseva kella ja ma kuulasin s\u00fcvenenult selle tiksumist.<\/p>\n
Mu isa hakkas autosid restaureerima aastal 1969 oma tankla garaa\u017eis ja ma vaatasin pealt, kuidas ta meie Brooklyni korteris neid puituksi parandas. Onud v\u00f5tsid enda peale rauat\u00f6\u00f6d ja v\u00e4rvimise, mida teostati erinevates t\u00f6\u00f6kodades New Yorgi avarustes. 1973. aastal kolisime me Puerto Ricosse tagasi ja v\u00f5tsime 1939. aasta Fordi \u00fches. Isa vedas mind sellega auton\u00e4itustele ja \u00f5petas mulle puidut\u00f6\u00f6d, nagu vanaisa talle oli \u00f5petanud.<\/p>\n
Isa suri aastal 1992 ja sealt alates on see puitauto minu hoole all. V-8 originaalmootor t\u00f6\u00f6tab ja on 100 protsenti perfektne.<\/p>\n
2019. aastal vajas puit k\u00f5pitsemist. Peretraditsioonid selged, kraapisin ma vana laki h\u00f6\u00f6vliteraga maha. Poeg Raystephan oli abiks \u2013 neljas p\u00f5lvkond meie loos. Ma lakkisin uksed uuesti \u00fcle, iga pintslit\u00f5mme sai s\u00fcdamega tehtud. \u00dcks s\u00f5ber pihustas veel kaks viimast kihti peale, et l\u00e4igiks nagu klaas.<\/p>\n
Poisile tuli m\u00f5te muuta v\u00e4rvi. Et auton\u00e4itustel originaalina kvalifitseeruda, pidi toon olema p\u00e4rit 1939. aasta Fordi valikust.<\/p>\n
Tema valik oli Jefferson Blue \u2013 Jeffersoni sinine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"T\u00e4na on sellised puust autod Ameerikas muuseumikaup ja rariteet, r\u00e4\u00e4kis Beniquez WSJ reporterile.
