Greg Powell, owner of a 1958 Morgan Plus Four, sought out this car specifically because his father owned one. He believes it was one of the few cars on Alvarado Street with a wood interior. “I always wanted a race car,” Powell said. “After I bought it, I didn’t have any room to put it, so I left it at my parents’ house and it’s been that way to this day. It’s a way to bond with my dad, and I love racing it. It’s competitive and fun.” (Kyarra Harris/Monterey Herald)
