President in 1961 - Barre, Vermont
Charlie was known for his interest in the unusual and sometimes bizarre automobiles. He operated a body repair facility on the Barre-Montpelier Road where one was compelled to stop and check out his latest acquisition or creation.
Some of his favorite cars were a 1940 Buick Brewster Town Car which earned a "Best in Show" at Pebble Beach, a 1929 PI Springfield Rolls Speedster which he resurrected from being a manure spreader in 1960 (best damn spreader that farm ever had!), and a 1929 Pierce Arrow Speedster made from a sedan.
He also owned a speedster made from an American LaFrance fire engine by Gael Boardman, among many others. Note that "speedster" seems to appear often in the descriptions of Charlie's cars.
