Indy Car Visits CloverdaleSURREY NOW (19-JUL-2003) Written by: Tom Zytaruk Photo by: Brian Howell
Celebrated Harrison woodworker Pierre J. Lachance is showing some of his handiwork at his old hometown library in Cloverdale from now into August.
Library visitors can see Lachance's Indy car, which was commissioned by Molson Vancouver Indy and displayed at BC Place during the race in 1996.
The car is made of oak and yellow cedar.
"The car itself took me three months to make," Lachance said. "It was made off photographs only, and it was requested by Market Molson at that time."
Lachance also makes motorcycles, cars, ships and assorted toys out of wood.
