There is a colour cameo photograph on the left-hand side of the windscreen-shaped tombstone tablet of Ronald. The tomb is shaped for the bonnet, grill, head lights, air vents in front of the windscreen, pin strips down the sides, and for the tail lights. All on a broader concrete slab. Impressive. There are also a couple of model black Wolseley taxis, and a dozen other smaller toy cars around the perimeter. To the rear of the slab is the following inscription:
Here rests our man in black
forever in our hearts
listening to his hero
Johnny Cash
I don't know if Ron owned this specific model, but I assume that he did, and it may even have had the personalised number plate shown at the rear: RA-1949
