    IMG_0687.jpeg IMG_0686.jpeg IMG_0686.jpeg IMG_0688.jpeg My friend (and Barber) texted me these photos noting that I might want to meet these people. While the photos are taken of a Connecticut Magazine article and are kinda small, I recognized the cars right away.

    If you blow them up a bit, you can enjoy the story too.

    I’ve had the good pleasure to visit with Ron and Laura several times at various shows and their booth at Hershey is a “must see” (along with all the neighboring “cool kids” from CT)

    Nice to see a story like this of two people influential and famous within the hobby!

  4. Pete, thanks for the article. I have known Ronnie for more than 50 years, and he is a real "hot rodder".
