I had two uncles that drove for Boutell. Uncle Joe Toby (who may be the man pictured) is the one that loaned Mr Boutell the money to start the business. Ever hear the "urban legend" about a car hauler going under a bridge and wiping the top off the car? That was Uncle Joe; he was hauling a Buick showcar up on top. They had paved the road and (inadvertently) reduced the clearance. He hit the overpass and smeared the roof. They refurbished it and used it during the show season a convertible model. Uncle Joe kept his job, probably as a result of his previous arrangement with Mr Boutell. K
