Its last appearance was at the PGE opening of the Quesnel to Prince George line at Aubu Creek in 1953, and since then it has sat un- used until this spring. A member of the Shriners at Kamloops then ask- ed for the loan of it for a conven- tion in Oregon, and he was made an outright gift of the famed relic. Vie Imhoff saw a design for a bucking car in Medicine Hat in 193 and always kept it in the back of his mind. In 1950, he and Ted Ewing converted an old car into the “iron horse” by putting the front wheels off centre on the axle so that when the car was given the gas, it would bounce up and down. There was a short drive shaft to the rear wheels so the car almost balanced on the back wheels. It was rigged up fo emit clouds of dense black smoke, it backfired repeatedly and had a battery of 17 horns. The car started out locally as a Furnishings to provide added’ in- terest to the Rube Band act which was originated by Bill Sharpe. Other first members of the band to with- stand the rigors of the ride were Jim and Dean Weber, Archié Pinchbeck and Gordie Gibbons. The popularity of the group with its fantastic car grew and they were invited to appear at the Kamloops Redeo two years running, all ex- penses paid. In 1952 their fame spread a little farther afield. and were featured entertainers at an an- nual celebration at Vernon. At out- side points, they were advertised as the Williams Lake Rube Band. For the big opening of the PGE the car was decorated to represent a locomotive and was an instant hit with the crowds at Prince George. They have also travelled to Lone Butte and Vanderhoof, and it was at the latter town that Dick Montjoy fell off the contraption on one of its Ce eye en Commbe the valley. publicity stunt for C@piboo Home| more violent ‘bucks’ and was ontr: QUO ea A eS Fer aes "SAT NEW 1955 FORD CUSTOMLINE FORDOR Ale THESE MONTHLY prizes / PRESIDENT VACUUM CLEANER (VALUE $159.50) Or : PRESIDENT 3 BRUSH FLOOR POLISHER (VALUE $137. 50) .
