Hello all, I am a 33 year old male, lost in the 50s. I love everything about that era. I collect, buy and sell memorabilia. B-movie movie posters from Hot Rod Gang, Teenage Thunder, High School Hellcats, etc., Robert Williams, and other kustom artwork. I got into cars as a youngster, my parent used to restore old cars in our back yard, Actually my mother went into labor while sitting atop of my fathers black and orange 1957 Chevrolet convertable with a 409 engine. She was changing the spark plugs when she started her labor pains. Anyways, they had owned 1957s, 58s, 60s a 63 and a lowered 4 door 64 Chevy Impala. I started wrenching early helping out until the wrenches would start flying. Maybe some from Michigan remember the Honey Radio 560 am oldies station and car club. We were members in that club late 70s thru the 80s. My first car was a 1969 Oldsmobile Cutl*** Supreme 350 Rocket. Although I dont have a vehicle yet to work on I am looking for a 1927-1932 Ford 5 window coupe, preferable unmolested. I am also looking for a 27-32 2 door sedan, I would love to Z the frame, remove the fenders and put some WWWs around it, paint the car a cheese cake yellow, brown and accent it with strawberry red wheels. I would make a kustom trailer in the same style as the car and plan to reserve the name "Ala Carte" Ok, well, I collect 45s, 33 1/3 LPs and 78s, rockabilly, early rock and roll and doo wop. When the Beatles arrived in America most music went to the garbage.
