    Mine is a pencil sketch of my 1932 Plymouth business coupe that I have had since 1962 (can it really be 50 years???). I commissioned artist Bruce Vernon to do the drawing about 13 years ago when I finished the restoration. He's a v-e-r-y talented artist.

    My avatar is the first 32 I helped build at Gene McKinneys shop in Lithia Springs Georgia....the new owner changed a few things around and used it in his companies advertisements. This became the Halibrand Black Widow car after Mcphail and some other guys reworked it.

    My brother and I (i would be on the right) in 1968 with our 1957 Chevy. Sold the body to a friend. I'm looking for the car because i still have the original 301 i built for it.

    My Avatar was a shot taken at Bonneville last year. This was our first year to run On the salt flats. Later in the year we ran at the last Maxton Mile in NC. This year we will be back at Bonneville for speedweek and will be running at the new Ohio mile in Wilmington.

    Mine is from and old article called the "Packard Crushathon, 1977" In which rival car clubs let the cars get crushed, rather than cooperate on their proper sale. There's at least 5 '51 Packards (like mine) in the avatar stack. Shame.
