Terri @Born a HotRodGal Hollenbeck -

It's great to see you posting on the H.A.M.B. again!

Thanks for starting this thread!

Back in late September (when Beppie @ts3x65mph Pistone first made mentioned of this "eBay find"), I contemplated starting a thread on the H.A.M.B. to find more pics of (& info about) Lance Miller's "LEASEMOBILE" ... but wasn't sure a car built in the late '60s would be well received here.

I guess I was wrong about this place ... considering this thread is now a so-called "Featured Thread" with well over 2100 views and nothing but positive comments.

Please keep us updated on Darryl @hollenbeck32's progress!

Here's the Andy @AndySS Southard Jr. article that appeared in the November 1970 issue of HOT ROD Magazine:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Great photos, always enjoy seeing what turns up on a history search.

It has - thankfully - slipped through the crack, same as your fantastic Andy's Picnic threads, with plenty of '70s shots.
Thank you Mark @Moriarity and @Ryan for exercising your impeccable good editing taste, as per usual. The spirit of the thing, and all that, along with homage to the Brizio family.​

 

Notice all the stroker hats in the old pics.

NOTE: Sid @Hotrodstitcher Chavers, Mark Maliepaard, & Rich Santana freshened up the interior:

... including replacing the carpet:

Congrats on getting the T!
Please say you're going to put some American spokes and Ansen Sprints back on it!
That would be the icing on the cake.

 

Outstanding brings back so many memory's.

Very niiice!!Looking better everytime I check it out!

 

Great car, very few in its class.
Keep in touch.
Are you married?

 

Love your avatar picture!

 

Fear not folks. It's getting the 6-71 Cragar blower back on it too. At least that is what Darryl told me when I sold him a Cragar tri-plate for it. So cool. I love these paint jobs.

The paint is absolutely rad on this car.

Terri @Born a HotRodGal & Darryl @hollenbeck32 have been busy working on the "LeaseMobile" Instant T (built in 1968 by Terri's father, Andy Brizio) ... and have graciously allowed me to keep you up-to-date with their progress.

First up ... Dave Shuten provided some much needed and hard-to-find "restoration" parts ... CRAGER blower parts ... and a pair of 11.90-15 GOODYEAR BLUE STREAK tires for those ANSEN Sprint wheels:

They spent a few days cleaning up the 50+ year old chrome:
