    There was just a cool story on CBS about Seth Glickenhaus, a 94 year old investor on Wall Street. What a great story about an extremely intelligent man, still on the top of his game. Jim, you must have a difficult time keeping up with him! Those are some good genes at work! How wonderful that must be to still work with your dad in such a manner.

    Just thought I would share, its probably been posted here before.

    regards

    Jim, I am so jealous of you.

    And its not for your Fcars.

    Its that you have your father to pal around with!

    Cheers.

    Well said, Jim. I always comment that I wouldn't love cars without my father...and I wouldn't enjoy my cars nearly as much if I didn't enjoy them with my father. (Heck, we spent a week together in Monterey at the car events and I will cherish it always.)

    and it extends beyond cars and my father...

    One of the greatest moments of my life was escorting my grandfather to center court of Portland's Rose Garden arena for a University of Oregon/ U of Utah basketball game where he was honored for being the oldest living University of Oregon varsity letterman. (He's 97 and played basketball and baseball.) Seeing the standing ovation and the respect from the current kids (college student athletes) was overwhelming.

    (and don't even get me started about how proud I am of my wife and daughters!!!) ;)

    He Loves Art and has a great collection. He also Loves Crafts and Design and is a Patron of the Museum of Art and Design in Columbus Circle.

    He and my Mom have come with me to Pebble and Villa d'Este with P 4/5 and the Duesy, which he bought at Auction and parks with me. He's not a car guy but enjoys my adventures and encourages me.

    Many years ago he started our family Foundation and over the years has supported thousands of charities. He made Nixon's Enemy List in the 60ies and at one time we were a very major shareholder of Chrysler with Kirk and helped turn it around in the 70ies. We sold out when it was taken over by Daimler.

    In addition to 0846 there's also a large photo mural of the Duesy in the office.

    Saw the article on TV too, now I know where Napolis gets his class from. Cool gentleman, I hope I'm that cool of a dude at 94.

    The best quote was "The medical school thing just didnt work out." I LOL'd for real!

    I noticed that too :)

    Great interview. I pictured him at the lunch counter in the Depression sitting next to Graham and Dodd and someone saying, "Well boys, we're going to have to work our way out of this!"

    Jim,

    You are so fortunate to still have your parents, mine passed away at 66 and 73.

    Never forget your roots, they made you who you are today!

    Yep. Nothing else matters. Nothing.

    I recently had a falling out with my father that ended with me telling him to have a nice life. Goodbye. He's not a horrible person in general or even in specifics...and not going into any further detail, but...so long and thanks for all the heartaches, but no more. Have a nice life. Don't invite me to your funeral.

    Tough words and feelings.

    I'm not going to repeat that with my kids.

    And, if you watch the video carefully, you can see J6 as the wallpaper on one of the monitors.

    I'm fortunate to be able to say I've met the man in person. He's lively, witty and very gracious.

    Wonderful to hear. He certainly has seen a long line of craft and design. The telephone to the iPhone.

    Truth.

    It's awesome you're dad is still around. And I can tell you're very, very greatful.

    I think I would have been a completely different person had I not lost all of my grandparents at a young age. I could have learned a lot from their generation. It's one thing that I still get teary-eyed over to this day.

    I don't know how old you are, but don't give up hope. I wasn't able to drink scotch with my dad until I was in my 30s.

    Tru dat!
