Percy Killmer, while driving a 1956 Ford (purchased in March 1960), was involved (March 15, 1961) in a collision with a truck owned and driven by Vincent Giampapa, who, thereafter, brought an action for damages against Mr. and Mrs. Killmer.

Giampapa recovered a judgment for $3,000 and costs against the Killmers.
