    I've always been fascinated with the history that the old cars have had and frequently wished they could talk so I could know what they had experienced in their time.

    The 34 5 window below, I inherited from my father and the 32 3 window, my father and I built together. When he got the 34 in 1994, it had a Texas title which for whatever reason listed the last two owners who had registered the title. I did some tracking down and talked to the guy who had driven it to school back in the 1970's and he had bought it from his father who had originally bought it off a used car lot in El Paso in 1957. The 32, I just have the history back into the 70's where Jigs Emory of Camdenton, Missouri had bought the body and build a channeled car out of it and drove it until sometime in the 80's when he sold it to the guy I got it from.
