Jim Prowell family restores cars as hobby
Jim’s father, sister, and
in-laws are also antique car
buffs.
The Prowells and their
relatives are members of an
antique car club in Hershey,
and tours organized by the
club give the clan a chance
to get together often.
‘I think a lot of the fun in
this hobby is the people you
meet,”’ Jim says. Jim, who
teaches 7th and 8th grade
math at Beahm Jr. High,
was introduced to car
restoration by music teacher
Glen Leib.
