  1. A lot of people have seen this, but heres my Model A. Guy bought it in the mid 50's and started restore it while driving it. Long process. In 1962 he and his wife got a divorce. H elost interest and parked it in the garage at his ex wifes house. Fast forward to 2007. I buy it from the owner's son, still parked at his Moms house! Car hadn't moved. Had it running the night I got it, and it was all down hill from there.

    Originally built in 1960, long time show car, 39 Sweepstakes and Special Awards. Seen here in Ron Hing's garage where it sat for decades. The Corvette was painted the same color and towed the Chev to shows. That's Ron Hing saying goodbye. In 2001 after a fluff up. Everything on the car except paint is original to 1960-63. lf in garage 2.jpg first light 1.jpg hing & car 2.jpg signal rf.JPG signal 2.jpg
