Savannah Robinson Family Business
Savannah grew up in her home at 768 Linwood Rd # D, Alexandria, IN 46001, where her family business is also located. Her grandfather Bill Robinson was born in the 1920s, but the family business currently handled by Vanessa was only started in 1972. Bill used to work with Model-A and Model-T as a hobby before that.
When Vanessa was younger, at around 16, she used to work as a hairdresser. She didn’t think she would be working with and for Model-A cars, selling the parts and vehicles. BJ’s Model A is the name of the Shop the Robinson family owns. The shop has almost all the parts for Model A and is one of the few remaining Model A shops in the whole country. Vanessa was born in the 1960s, but none of the Robinson family member’s exact date of birth is available.
While Savannah herself isn’t very knowledgable about Model A cars and parts, she does help out in the shop. She does simple tasks like finding pieces that are named and handing them to customers. Also, she handles the register and takes care of the transactions, as well. Savannah started helping out in the shop before her grandfather died in 2011.
Bill is a great parent and grandparent, as he wanted a part of his legacy to go to all his offsprings. Model A cars which have been Bill’s passion for life, he made sure to pass on at least one car to every family member.
