My wife and I are older car enthusiasts. We have owned this beauty for about three years. I enjoy working on it (but it doesn't need much) because it reminds me of working with my father in his Ford garage and we worked on cars like this when they needed attention. We enjoy driving it to car shows and showing it off and we've won some trophies too. This car is all original except the color. The car was originally red, before they did a complete frame off restoration.

I have a 1036 Ford 4 door and a 1928 Ford Tudor, both are all original. Tere is a problem because other drivers do not respect classic cars. Mechanical brakes require a distance form the vehiicle in front of me. That safe space is often taken by another driver, so I slow down to make a safe following distance, but I become a driving hazard because I am now way under the speed limit.. To the correct the problem, I bought this modernized 1930 classic, _ with the bonus of air-conditioning.
Fun in the sun! With the Vintage Mustang Club of Luxembourg we visited the Meeting of the First Mustang Club of Germany in Stein at Faber-Castell Castle location in Stein/Nurnberg (Germany). Wonderful experience and +130 Classic Mustangs at the show.
My Europa was converted into a prototype from 865 type 65s sold to the U.S. in 1970. A concept of what the type 66 may have looked like. Running gear is the same. Only the body work has been changed to appeal to the American market. The Europa, designed to race, the frame provided no protection to the passengers, so the type 66 was abandoned. Lotus recently released their own version of the type 66, for their 50th anniversary. Mine is based on safety, lotus’ on an unidentified period sketch.

The Chevelle SE was NOT a factory produced car. The SE was created by a company in Wichita, Kansas called Special Editions Inc. who modified a mere fifty (yes, 50!) 1977 Chevelle Malibu's with aftermarket (not factory) goodies which included a front air dam, a rear spoiler, 60 series tires on Turbine II aluminum wheels and a special orange red and yellow stripe package.
