 So, each night, after closing time, Earl would paint cars in the station's lube garage.It didn't take long for word of Earl's painting service to spread, and soon there was more paint business than the station could handle.As a result, he sold his station, rented a "shack" on the corner of Pico and La Brea (Los Angeles), and in 1937 opened the first Earl Scheib Paint and Body.
