At the age of 62, a long time car nut. Right from the young age of about ten or eleven, cars, cars, cars and more cars. Buying Hot Rod, Car Craft and Popular Hot rodding magazine, building lots and lots of model car kits and drawing cars from a very young age. Got my first car, a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan at the age of 17. The car was a mess that I bought with my heart and not with my mind. I kept my 56 for a year and then after that my cars got better as a could afford them. In order I have owned 56 Chev Bel Air sedan, 68 Chevelle 300 coupe, 55 Chev 210 (Del Ray) club coupe, 70 Nova coupe, 67 Chevelle 300 sedan, 67 Buick Special sedan, 56 Chev 210 sedan, 57 Chev Bel Air sport sedan hardtop, 57 Pontiac sedan (still have) and 74 Chev Caprice Estate that my dad bought new (still have). Cars are in the blood and that is where they will be until I die. Cheers.
