The '60 Impala 4dr hardtop was Dad's car they drove down, and left it at a junkyard, trading it for a door for my uncle's 63 Impala.
Dad always wanted to build it into an American Graffiti replica, but never finished it. I bought it from him in 2017.
Needless to say, we're all 3 excited to see the American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop cars at MCACN in a few weeks!
