In Loving Memory of Harold "Hal" Blaine ScammonHarold Blaine Scammon, affectionately known as Hal, was born on December 13, 1944, in Washington, DC, during the war, where his father was stationed.

A glance at the top of the escalator sparked a connection that would last a lifetime.Throughout his life, Hal had a passion for cars, particularly the iconic 57 Chevys, of which he owned and restored several over the years.
