A long lost hot rod car has made its way back to the son of its original owner. The Rock Springs Rocket Miner reports Albert Bertagnolli’s father built the 1934 robin egg blue five window Ford Coupe in the 50s but sold it shortly after to buy a house. Bertagnolli searched all over Rock Springs for the car but finally came across it by accident on Facebook. It took three years of convincing for the owner in Montana to sell it back to him. He’s rebuilt it and proudly shows it off in car shows now.

Ivy started as a science news intern in the summer of 2019 and has been hooked on broadcast ever since. Her internship was supported by the Wyoming EPSCoR Summer Science Journalism Internship program. In the spring of 2020, she virtually graduated from the University of Wyoming with a B.S. in biology with minors in journalism and business. When she’s not writing for WPR, she enjoys baking, reading, playing with her dog, and caring for her many plants.
