Leon Stackhouse, of Pen Argyl, has owned this rare 1957 Chevy Handyman station wagon for about two years.

Stackhouse has wanted a Handyman ever since he saw one for sale at a Pen Argyl gas station while a senior at Bangor Area High School in 1970. He told a high school friend he was going to see about buying the Handyman to convert for the drag strip.

"Turns out his uncle ran the Gulf station near Weona Park. That's how he beat me to it," Stackhouse says. "He paid $250 for it. I bought a '58 Chevy convertible instead."

Described as the "workingman's Nomad" because of its popularity among carpenters, plumbers and other tradesmen, the Handyman came standard with a six-cylinder motor and three-speed manual transmission with column-mounted shift.

"Everybody thinks it's a Nomad," Stackhouse says. "At car shows Nomads are a dime a dozen, but you never see a Handyman."

Stackhouse has worked on cars for about 40 years. He wasted no time in upgrading the classic Handyman, dropping in a 305-cubic-inch Chevy V-8 from a 1988 Camaro and a Muncie four-speed transmission with floor-mounted shifter.

"The paint and chrome was already done," Stackhouse says. "I put in new windows, total interior, power steering and brakes. I pretty much disassembled it and put it back together."

The color is a two-tone 2001 Lincoln metallic tan and pearl that closely matches the colors of the day. The classic Cragar chrome wheels add to the car's 1960s ambience.

Stackhouse and his wife, Doris, are members of the Wanderers Car Club and can be seen with the Handyman at area car shows and cruises.

Stackhouse has owned and restored more than 20 classic cars over the years and is still going strong so much so that he recently installed a gas-station lift in his garage.

A 58-year-old Baltimore County firefighter died Friday afternoon after he suffered a suspected heart attack during training, officials said.

Robert Fogle III, a 27-year veteran and career firefighter, was participating in exercises at the Sparrows Point training facility when he became ill. He was taken to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

"It just reminds us about the sacrifice that our first responders do each and every day and the risks that they take to be fit and capable of helping others," Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz said.

Officials said Fogle had gone with an engine crew and medic crew from the Pikesville station to the Sparrows Point facility for routine training at 1 p.m. They first did "operations readiness training," which involved firefighting skills such as climbing stairs and lifting ladders, said Fire Chief John Hohman.

After a break, the group went to "the maze," a trailer where firefighters must use their breathing apparatus to navigate through an unfamiliar area. No smoke was used, Hohman said.

When it became clear Fogle was in distress, he was quickly removed and treated, Hohman said.

"It wasn't long at all. The maze is designed in such a way that when something like this happens, they can dismantle things and get somebody out fairly quickly. The crew was right there," Hohman said.

It was there that Fogle suffered an apparent heart attack and was rushed to the hospital, where he died.

All firefighters complete the training annually, Hohman said. This is the first death at the training center. He said there will be an internal investigation into Fogle's death.

Fogle's death is considered a "line of duty" death, Kamenetz said, the first in the county in 2014.
