'Blackie' Gejeian?
3rd-generation California Central Valley raisin rancher.
Huge influencer on the T-bucket builds based on his '26 T-roadster build back in the '40s.
I didn't know him personally, but knew of him and used to see him each year at the Grand National Roadster Show in Pomona.
He passed in 2016 at the age of 90.
Yup. Gramps worked with him back in his dirt-track days and into the early 50s before going into the bar and restaurant business. Even though grandpa wasn't much of a hot-rod guy they remained friends.
