A classic car new storage home
Interest Story has appeared from California area. Time-standard reported that a 1950 ford patrol car will soon be able to drive into a new home after a local storage business donated space for the Fortuna Police Department.
Four Star Mini Storage in Fortuna offered a 10-foot by 20-foot storage space to the Fortuna Police Department last week to house the restored 1950 Ford, which has been painted and rigged to look like a 1950s patrol car. FPD uses the car for special events and parades but its current storage situation was causing it to deteriorate, Fortuna Police Chief Kris Kitna said.
The classic car is currently covered in tarps under a small, open car shelter kept near the city's animal shelter, collecting a layer of dust and cobwebs.
But before the big move, “We have to get it running first,” Kitna said. Before storage became a problem, the vehicle's clutch was malfunctioning. The Fortuna city mechanic will repair it so an officer can drive it over to the storage facility.
Police officers donated their off-time to restore the car and completed the work about eight years ago.
”They put a lot of time and effort into that car,” Kitna said.
One of those officers was Kevin Stonebarger, who now works for the Arcata Police Department. Stonebarger said it took him and fellow restorer Cliff Chapman, who now works for the Roseville Police Department, about two years to complete the project.
”Everything on the car is basically new ...,” he said. “We rebuilt the whole

thing.”
Four Star Mini Storage owners Jim and Sharon Redd heard about the department's need for storage space and realized they had a vacant space suited for the vehicle, Sharon Redd said.
”We're just trying to help out the community,” Redd said. "
