Great story and color combination on this car, by far my favorite. Every time I hear a story like this I just can't understand why I didn't hang on to one of my early machines. I know I'm not the only person thinking that either.

Great detailed story Verne especially with the vintage photos. Your better half looks like she's ready to row thru the gears.....And who the hell is the guy in the pinstripe pants ......At least you didn't use the pointed shoes picture...Great story from a great guy..........Joe

What a great story and originally a Ford man too...who'd've ever known?.
And are those a set of Rader wheels on it now like Bob had advertised here a few weeks ago, they really are just simply THE CLEST...and so are those pants too Verne!.
Thanks for sharing!.

""But then I thought, the heck with any current trend; this car doesn’t have to please anyone but me ........""

Surely this ride is a crowd pleaser everywhere it goes !!!

Verne, thanks for taking the time to share your "book" with us, I hung on every word.

I never figured you were just a one car man, will there be another book?


I thought I've asked this already, but what exactly are these wheels (Mickey Thompson?)and when were they made?



thanks again Verne
