1929 Hot Rod Roadster
This has been my 'show car'
since it was completed in 1989. It graced the cover of Street Rodder
Magazine then and was featured in a Motorbooks International 'coffee
table' book called Cruisin'. It is powered by a highly polished L98 Tuned
Port Injected Corvette engine.
Check
it out.

'Traditional'
Pre-War Vintage 'SCTA'
Rod
This 1930 Ford Roadster
sports an original 'souped up' 4 banger. It's a nostalgic flash from the
past when the sport of hot rodding was just beginning. They raced these
cars then on the dry lakes of Southern California,
and still do. Eighty years of automotive technology has done little to
make driving more fun.

1929 Model 'A' Ford Sport Coupe
|
My dad found this car in
1952 abandoned in the garage of the widow of a Greyhound bus driver who
didn’t drive. It was practically new with only 55,000 original miles. He
bought it for $400.00 but had to have a large tree removed to get it out.
He gave it to me with the stipulation that I restore it after taking it
entirely apart and putting it back together by the time I was 16 years
old. I did and got the pink slip for my birthday and I became the second
owner.

1929 Woody Wagon
|
This was my father's car and
he drove it until he was 92 when he gave it to me. It is one of the
few (all original) remaining Woody Wagons built in 1929; the year Ford
first introduced Station Wagons. The Maple and Birch used to make them
came from Henry Ford's own Iron Mountain forest in Michigan.

A Life Long Aspiration Finally
Realized
|
As a young kid, I watched
for hours as skiploaders excavated new home sites in my neighborhood. The
tractor drivers would give me rides, hoisting me high up in their
buckets. I dreamed of one day becoming a tractor driver.The massive 2018
Montecito mudslide made it a reality. The creek behind our house
overflowed inundating the back of our property with mud. A new tractor
was the solution.

Honda CB 750 K5
The
Honda 750K5 I bought new in 1975 and rode for 35 years when I decided to
restore and sell it.
Honda 750's were the original Superbikes that
ended the dominance of British performance motorcycles.
