Back then, country deliveries during winter months were often diffi- cult. “If youfd put a stop to this, my life would be a whole lot easier,” Chief Rusnell reportedly said. Bob recalls Ira Rusnell, the village police chief. having a few discussions with his dad over this nefarious arrangement. “I was only 11 or 12,” Bob said. “I didn't have a licence so I pretty much kept to the back streets." Bob Stover retains fond memories of the ’49 Chev. For it was behind the wheel of this trusty van he learned to drive. Makes included Inter- national, GMC, Chevroâ€" let,7D(_>dge and Fargo. Initially, a horse and cart l‘was used for in- town deliveries. The old grey mare was guided by either Joe Cayman or Abe Lehman. Later, transpor- tation went mobile with trucks purchased in Cla- remont and Stoufl’ville. Drivers were Lewis Wells, Carl, Ray and Stew- art Wideman, Joe Swain, Floyd Forsyth and Albert Hudson. Under the man- agement of Harry and Casper Stover, the com- pany flourished with branches in Richmond Hill, Markham, Scar- borough, Port Perry and Brown’s Corners. EmplOyees included Lloyd Moyer, Jim Ridout. Mabel Hoover, Herb Sto- ver, Abe Lehman, Bert Miller, Audrey Fintleman, Mel Barkey, Velma Bru- bacher, Mary Lewis, Mary Barry and Bill Brown. It was Mr. Stover Sn, Bob's grandfather, who purchased the business from the Rowbotham family. Before that, it was owned by Frank Gordon and earlier by LB. Wurts. This refurbished beauty is a replica of one owned by Ambrose and Harry Stover, proprietors of the Stoufiville Bakery from 1921 to 1970. While each spectator had his or her favourites, none attracted more attention than a 1949 Chevrolet panel truck, owned by Stouffville’s Bob Stover and displayed by his son, Arman. lose to 900 vintage vehi- cles graced the grounds of TEVA/ Novopharm Sept. 19, for Motorfest 2009. On memory lane in a bread truck No, the ’49 Chev’s not for sale. Bob hopes his heirloom will remain in the Stover family for many generations. “It's priceless," he said. Bob describes last month’s Motorfest as his truck’s “coming out party". He plans to enter it in other area shows. Bob, assisted by Harry Schell and Ivan Grove, constructed bread racks for the rear. An original Stouffville Bakery bas- ket was purchased at an auction in Ballantrae. The six-cylinder engine. three-speed transmission and drive-train are all original. The odometer reads 123,000 miles. Body and paint work has since been done by Johnny Williamson of Utica, new upholstery provided by Gary Nolan of Aurora, exterior letter- ing inscribed by Iim Bra- zier and a new front axle installed by Ken Ender- wick, all of Stoufiville. “rub a few antici- pated changes, it was exactly what Bob wanted. Stouffville’s Denny Alsop trailered it home. That wastwo years ago. For nearly 20 years, Bob Stover had his heart set on acquiring a vehicle similar to one his dad and granddad once used, preferably an lntemational. But noth- ing resulted. Then, he received a call from Don Barkey in Markham. He saw an advertisement on the Internet for a 1949 Chevrolet panel truck near Lancaster, Penn. Bob, wife Nancy and grandson Roger decided to drive down and take alook. “Sometimes, we had to plow laneways to get in," Bob said. A set of rear wheel chains were readily available.
