About
We've always had hot rods and customs around as long as I can remember. Grandpa Al had a 59 el camino (now in my parents back yard), a 54 F-100 (now in my parents front yard), a 51 ford coupe (now in my garage), and grandma drove a 62 or 63 thunderbird (now missing). My folks also have a 54 chevy panel van and a 53 210 that's my mother's favorite. I really had no chance at all....Interact
