Unfortunately I don't have any pics, but I grew up around the classics. My dad started restoring cars at the tender age of 12. That's when he earned the money to buy his first car. It was the '40's then. (He had to cut a tree down that was growing THRU his first car - a Model A). Him and his best friend restored it, sold it, and got another car to do. He's been restoring them ever since. He's 81yrs old now, and still at it.
While I was growing up he restored a '40 Merc convertible. He made so much money off the Merc that he was able to put a full sized, in ground, fiberglass swimming pool in our backyard and had it totally landscaped around it.
He also did a 64.5 Mustang. He had to do that one twice cuz my brother wrecked it after his 1st restoration. He also did a '47 Studebaker pickup that he chopped. It looked very classy when he was done.
I can't even list all the other ones he's done since then, but one of them was another Model A. This was just a hobby for him. His main job was advertising and marketing.
So I have a deep love of the classics, and I've decided the next vehicle I own is going to be a classic. I like that I can actually work on them, and the fact they have lots of room to work. (And I, too, am a woman.)
My ex husband had a Gremlin in the 70's. He souped it up, and he LOVED his, too. His email even had the word Gremlin in it. He has since passed away (last year). May he rest in peace.
