What has been your favorite car that you’ve owned?
Hard to differentiate between the Model T and 2+2. My Great Grandfather bought the Model T in 1935 then gave it to my Dad and I eventually wound up with it. The 2+2 was ordered brand new by my Dad and I instantly fell in love with it and took care of this car starting at a very early age. I drove it through high school and college.
Do you have a car story to share?
If anyone has attended the NSRA Street Rod Nationals in Louisville you know that there are usually over 10,000 cars registered and on Saturday afternoon they draw one luck registrant to win a car built especially for this event. I happened to be the lucky one in 2013 and drove home the ’32 Ford Roadster, the ’68 AMX I entered came home on the trailer.
