On Oct. 21, the Mormon Meteor III will be reinstalled in the State Capitol rotunda. As members of the Ab Jenkins family, we would like to express our thanks to Wendell Ashton for his efforts in making the dedication and dinner celebrating this event a reality.
We would also like to recognize the tremendous efforts of our uncle, Marvin Jenkins, Ab's son, who has been entirely unselfish with his time and work, restoring the car to its original condition.For the past 21/2 years, Marvin has volunteered thousands of hours refurbishing the Mormon Meteor III. Every part of the famous race car was dismantled and cleaned, painted or, in some cases, replaced. In many instances, parts were not available and Marvin had to build them himself.
This has been a labor of love for Marvin Jenkins, and the results of his work will be enjoyed by anyone visiting the State Capitol to view the car in its beautiful new display.
