D&R CLEANERS
Douglas Tate
Gets New Car
From Government
The following is from
the North Texas American,
Commerce:
J. D. Tate drove a 1947
Chevrolet Fleetline Aero se-
dan off the floor of Clark
Chevrolet Company Satur-
day evening, free of charge
and he says he knows some-
body will come and get it
and tell him it was only a
gag.
He thinks it’s too wonder-
ful to believe—‘that it’s real-
ly his — but its’ true. Tate
is the first disabled veteran
here to receive an automo-
bile given as a GI benefit by
the Veterans Administration.
That received on injury to
a nerve in his right foot dur-
ing the war, which resulted
in the loss of the use of that
leg. For a long time he was
hospitalized.
Following his discharge,
Tate, whose home is in Hon-
ey Grove, enrolled in East
Texas State Teachers Col-
lege. Last spring he met an
army buddy who was hos-
pitalized at the same time
he was.
“What kind of a Car are
you driving?” the friend
asked him.
Tate wryly told him he
didn’t even have a pair of
roller skates, and the friend
proceeded to enlighten him
about the provisions of a bill
which entitled him to an
automobile of his own.
After a trip to the Vet-
erans Admnisitration offices
in Dallas, where he filed an
application, Tate waited for
the results. Three weeks ago
the application came back —
approved.
The next step was pre-
senting the application to
the dealer.
“You take it from here,”
he told 0. D. Clark, owner of
the Chevrolet company.
The rest was simple. All
he had to do was specify the
kind and color of the car and
wait.
The waiting was not long.
The Chevrolet Motor Com-
pany gives priority to dis-
abled veterans. Whatever
they want, they get, and
they don’t have to wait long.
Fourteen days later the car
was delivered to Clark's
show room. It was exactly
as Tate requested.
The VA allows $1600 to-
ward the automobile. The
smooth looking Fleetline*
with the slick lines and up-
town finish, carried a price
of $1506, and the additional
equipment desired by the
veteran was added at the lo-
cal Chevrolet house.
Tate did not require any
special changes in the me-
chanical make - up of the
driving equipment, but if
that is necessary, Chevrolet
will build them to specifica-
tions. They have worked
out every convenient ar-
rangement for amputees and
those veterans disabled in
other ways which make the
standard driving- procedure
awkward. No effort is spar-
ed by Chevrolet Motor Com-
pany toward making the car
fit the individual need of the
man for wihom it is intended.
It was all So quick and
easy, handled by Clark, that
Tate was a bit overwhelmed
Saturday. “I’ll have to drive
it clear away from here be-
fore I’ll really believe it’s
mine,” he said, “and then it
’s going to be hard to get
used to.”
