Carwash
First a little background on myself. I don’t usually provide such information but I thought this was inetersting. My Dad was Iranian, I say this in the past tense because we lost him to cancer a few years ago. One of the businesses he created in Iran was the first carwash. That’s him on the left with my Grandmother on my Mom’s side, next is my Mom and I think my oldest brother. I’m not sure who the other guy is but he must have worked with my dad. One of the funny things, at least I think it’s funny, about that carwash was the ability of the machinery to obliterate car antenna or any other appendage sticking out of the car. Dad was constantly having to replace parts of peoples cars frequently and to calm down irate customers with damaged autos. I think this was taken during the mid-sixties based on the size of my brother. To say the least, the business was challenging and eventually he either sold or closed it.
The photo was taken in 1965 or 1966. The man standing to the right is Mehdi, Dad’s driver. The carwash never made any money, but the tea room in the carwash made buckets! Dad finally closed the carwash because his aunt, Monir, who owned the land under it and wanted to sell the land. N.
