Good design is the key to the classics

Builder Gene Perkins '59 is a collector 01 extraordinary automobiles.

'7 don't know that I need this many cars to be happy," said Gene Pei-lcins. builder aiid developei-, sitting in his company office along a quiet road in Greenwood, Indiana. The building's second floor serves as his living quarters, aiid hehind this sti-nctui.e is a nventy-two-car garage rvliere the temperature is carefully controlled. Parked inside ai-e sei~eral "classic cai-s"--Packards aiid a Duesenberg fiom the 1930s and'40s, cars that were built big and luxurious for tlie rich aiid famous.

"It's a lot of batteries to keep charged," said Per-kins. 38. He is in liis last year on tlie board of directors for the Car Club of America, an organization of 5,500 members. His involyeinent with the club lias included a txo-yeai- lei-in as iLs president. and he has "been through the whole rotation" on the hoard.

"B:r the same token. it kind of goes along with my houses." lie said. "1 like good design. good proportion. I just feel like these classics ai-e the ultimate as far as being nice cars."

Perlcins' collection, ivliicli is always evol\ing as lie sells off one car to buy another, no~v stands at t7velx.e Paclcards, a Duesenberg, and a car he keeps for seiitiinental reasons: the 1940 Ford coupe lie bought at the age of sixteen and drove throughout high school, college, and his first couple olyeai-s on tlie job.

His otliei- prized cars include a '56 Packard Caiibbean con\-el-tible oiined by El\is Presley and a '33 Duesenberg model J convertible built i n Indianapolis. The car, which cost about i(1.5,000 irlien it \vas new, lias a 153 l/2-incli

he said. "Tliey'i-e an interest I've had since I was a child; and I got deep]:- involved lvith them as soon as I could do something about it."

Perlcins display cain fi-om liis collection at about loour competitix-e sho\v5 a yeat., and the car5 h a w brought hiin so many airards and so much 1-ecognirioii that he hardl7- Iceel's ti-aclc 01 it all anymore.

Ne chose .kbui-y out of respect lor his Father, who liad dropped out of school after eighth si-ade, "had a religious experience" later in life, and decided when Gene was i n h i s eai-l!. teens 10 become a minister.

To do so, lie needed inore education; thus. when Gene entered l<inclergarten, liis Father simultaneously enrolled i n high school as a fi-eshmaii. Tlie situation had a ~~ i -o lound inipact on the Perkiiis faniil!~'s attiinde about education

"T,Ve ahvays knew that ive had to go to 5choo1," said Perlcins, whose foul- children all pursued graduate degrees. His thi-ee daughters have master's degrees and ai-e educa- toi-s, and liis son graduated from Indiana University's medical school aiid is an obsteti-ician/~,iiecologist. Perkins' brother Thoiniton graduated i n 1965 Goin Indiana Central and is a doctor i n Chattanooga; anotliei- brother. TVayne, earned a doctorate in theolo,q and is on the facult? at the Cniversit? of Ennsii l le. Perkins put both tlii-ough college.

"TVe always assumed we'd go to college, because \ve'ye aln-ays adinired Dad being able to do that with a famil!;" he said. 'Toii try keep np with p u i - dad. one lvay 01- the other."

Perkins' Father, ivho Tvas the first in his family to attend collegc. completed degrees a t Asbury College and .kbui-y Seminary, aiid wanted his children to attend .kFhni~ as well.

Perkins (~vlio today lacks only six hours for a master's in business fi-om Indiana Liii\-ei-sity) transfei-red to Indiana Central i n 195.5. after atlending a year a t .kbury.

and his family lived in a house Irailei- pal-Iced behind Iiis parent5' home, which was located near tlie school. He i-elied on the trade he I<ne\v hest-home buildiiig-to put food on the table.

"I was married the whole time I \+-as at ICC, so it was a job," said Perlcins, \<-lie built liis first house tlie suniinei- after lie graduated fi-om high school and sold it almost iinniediately 101- a profit. "One of tlie philosophies I've liad since then \$-as that I didn't want iny children IO liai-e IO

He 1-ecalls, smiling, the time he was called into tlie office of the dean of inen and repi-imanded for skipping chapel. "Tlie dean didn't understand all that I was doiiig- that I had to ~ o r k . " Perlcins said. "BW eventually they let me have tlie contract to paint the dol-ins. I ended up doing a lot ofworlc for the school \+-lien I was thei-e."

I n 1962, Perldns' brother m s accepted to medical school. Their father couldn't alford to help out financially, and tlie responsibility fell to Perkins, the older brotliei-. He took a leave of absence fi-om Southport and began building full-time.

He chose to pursue building rathei- than teaching because "you're 1101 limited to a certain salai?-the liarder I ~ o i - k e d and the inorejobs I did, tlie more I could share with my broihers.

I ,\-as tickleci to death to have ~ ~ o 1 - k and to be able to pay my suppliel-s and pay myself a meager wage."

More than iliree decades batel-, Perkins is considered one oC the finest and most successful builders on India- napolis' south side, catei-ing mainly to 11he marlcei for large, uppei--end homes. He is also seiTing hi5 second ierrn 011 tlie university's boai-d of trustees. "helping with ~vhat needs to be done io the buildings to keep them sound."

H e chose to ;buysue building rather than teaching because you %e not limited to a certain salary-the harder I worked and the morejobs I did, the more I could share . . . >

yeat- before lie quit ieacliing and srartecl building Iiouses full-time, Gene Perkins succumbed to temptation and bouglir his first classic car: a 1938 Packard coii~ertible sedaii that sold for S2,200. more than half of liis annual teaching salai:..

"I basically raised my family in that car," he said of his first Packaid, which he sold sevei-a1 years later to a member of tlie Iaamous DuPont family. (Perkins at first declined TO sell the car, but D ~ P o i i t persisted aiid told him to iiaiiie a ]>'ice. Perlcins asked 510.000, a price that i n 5 immediately accepted. DuPont's iiitei-est in the autoniobile stemmed from the facr that lie aiid liis wife had dated in a '35 Pac1;ai-d.) He didn't begin collecting seriously until the late sixties, wlieii his financial situaiion rras more secure and he could afford to indulge himself.

Noxr. inside the controlled atmosphere of his extraordi- narily large, two-stoi? cai- garage, Perkins su i~eyed his collection.

at the inevitable question: If forced to choose one or the other-building homes 01- restoring classic cars-which would Tvin out?

';I guess I'd I-ather fool with the cars," Perkins said, "but it takes one to support the other.

"I like building. I like all facets of it, from pouring tlie footings to picking out trim and moldings. I enjoy all of it. But I suppose tliere'll be a tiine wlieii I don't like it, and that's the time to get out of it-v.hen it's not fun anymore.
