Puyallup Man Has 2-Headed Car
You may have heard of Andy Barker. Owner of Barker’s Barn and Andy’s Classic Auto Parts at 4715 Pioneer Way E. It’s either Tacoma or Puyallup, Washington, depending on who you ask. Andy and his relatives have owned this piece of real estate for a bunch of years. Now that’s keeping property in the family! So, here’s the story. As I drive by his shop, I see this car. The one pictured above. It looks a little out of the ordinary. It’s got the front of a 47 Plymouth on one end and the front of a 48 Plymouth on the other end.
Too many questions are running through my head….so I have to stop and talk to the owner. I meet this man. His name is “Barker” or “Andy”, whichever. He answers to both.
He tells me about the car. It’s been on TV, in the movies and on Evening Magazine. I got a lot of information in a few minutes. This very pleasant man runs the Classic Auto Parts store.
The moral of the story is: If you can’t find parts for your CLASSIC…..Call Barker!!!
You will usually find him at the store or call him at 253 922-7673.
The store is at 4715 Pioneer Way, Puyallup, Washington.
While you’re there, ask him about his unusual Chevy pickup across the street.

He has a bunch of older cars there. He says he’s been meaning to rebuild them….when he has the time. Stop by, tell “Barker” I said HI”!

I see this thing on my way to work every day. I always thought there was a story behind it. So, where did it come from, how did he get it, etc?

Dear Sultans007…Thanks for stopping by,
“Barker” told me he got a phone call from a guy, out of the blue. He wanted Barker to restore it. So he brought it down and Barker has not had time to work on it yet! For a time, he had the cars behind his shop. He has several projects going. I’d love to talk to whoever put it together. I’m like you….why did they do it?? Barker’s a friendly guy. Stop in and say HI!
