Old cars? Thats about the only thing that rates up there with gun collecting!
My dad and I restore old cars. Currently he has finished and is driving a 1957 BelAir convertible and a 1955 Roadmaster conv.,but has also sold many finished ones through the years from a 1927 Chevy to a 1965 Caddy conv. He has about 20 right now but only two that are done. We hope to have his biggest expense finished this year,a 59 Biarritz. That one has more chrome than most others combined and has been the toughest restoration yet.
I do the mechanical,he does the body work. Others we've done in the past aside from the 27 chev and 65 caddy were a 1940 olds sedan(which I currently still own),a 1956 olds88,a 1959 Mercury conv,a 51 Ford conv.,a 1931 Nash sedan,a 56 Packard,a 47 Lincoln and others I can't recall at the moment. Current projects I'm working on with him now are the 59 Biarritz,a 56 Caddy S62 conv,.a 55 Chev conv,and a 41 Cad sedan. He has numerous others stowed in sheds waiting their turn.
My own toys currently are a 1921 Overland,a 40 olds and a 70 chevy pickup. I've had a few 68 Camaro's in the past,my first car was a 68 hardtop and in later years I had a nice 68 convertible but was forced to sell that one during my only divorce. I hope to someday aquire another as that is one of my favorite cars. Below is dad and my grandmother(Just turned 90 yrs old!) with his 55 Roadmaster and also my as original/unrestored 21 Overland.
