You know how much he likes having things to pull behind his truck! <br /><br />APW I totally remember reading about that guy! I'm glad we've got him to preserve those cars because they're pieces of history. Or maybe just because I like cars. Also because I decided not to get into the car preservation line of work!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-20719483134258864552010-08-15T20:55:10.374-07:002010-08-15T20:55:10.374-07:00Little by little...

(I think I mentioned him to you once before; he's the guy who bought the Ford that was used as the taxi in which Johnny Depp rode in "Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.") Anyway, his cars often look about this bad when he starts with them, and end up looking quite nice. Yea, they all have bench seats and lapbelts only. No cupholders, only radios -- or 8-track tape players that no longer work. The windows roll down by hand -- and the doors lock by hand. No car alarms on these babies. And a couple of them have that fake wood panelling. It's pretty fun riding in something this retro.<br />But I agree with you; it has to be someone who really, really wants to spend the time and money to do this kind of thing. <br />My buddy now has 4 LTDs, one '37 truck -- and a Subaru for daily driving. He graveled in his whole back yard so he could park everything there, as he lives on a busy street in the city and on-street parking is not legal there. <br />So, he's made the space and has the motivation. I would not, like you.A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.com
