The business remains focused on collision and glass repair with full service to the customer and managing much of the claims handling for them. In 1981, he restored the ‘39 Chrysler that was driven by Johnny Carson in his teens. It was later used and gifted to Carson for the movie “Johnny Comes Home.” You can see this car just as Al restored it at the Car Museum in the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
