Forty-One's Journey: A car, The dream, Their story

Forty-One's Journey

A car, The dream, Their story

Love, war, and a car link the lives of two families. Their story spans over seven decades, from the nineteen thirties to the early two thousands. Travel back in time with a woman named Fiery, who loved her husband and the warmhearted memories they made with their nineteen forty-one Chevrolet automobile. It was a car she named Forty-One, and because her husband told her never sell this car, she kept it for over fifty-eight years.

Many accounts take place near the epicenter of Michigan's automotive industry, where millions of cars were manufactured, but only one had the unique spirit of Forty-One. When you meet Fiery, she reveals segments of her early life and the way her family used their automobile. Learn how she and her friends endured the great depression, romanced men, and survived on World War II's home front. She braved a lifetime dreaming of reuniting with her long-lost love and their car. Many years later Forty-One is sold against her will and the dream she had is shattered.

However, a chance encounter in nineteen fifty-nine, with a neighbor, bonded her to the woman's son decades later. During the nineteen-seventies the woman's son matures, later becomes a successful businessman, and fights to introduce new technologies into a conservative corporation. In the midst of it all, his passion for pre-war automobiles is fulfilled when he purchases an antique nineteen forty-one Chevrolet automobile. After a lengthy search for the car's original owner, he discovers a connection to Fiery.

In an unexpected setting, a series of meetings are held where Fiery has flashbacks and shares many secrets from her life with him and his wife. Secrets she has never spoken about to anyone! These emotional memories, told first-hand to the authors, are woven like a fine tapestry into this intricate and endearing tale. Learn how their story can only end when forty-One is taken on an inexplicable journey.
