I’ve been around Cars all my Life. My Father owned a Esso Station back in New York and when we moved to California he had a Flying A Gas Station.

I was buying and selling Cars when I was 12. I can’t even remember half of all the Cars I’ve owned over the past 50 Years, but losing that Shelby still haunts me.

My older Brother, almost 70 now still has a 32 Ford 5 Window Deuce Coupe he bought as a rolling Chassis when he was 17 and built him himself. Chevy V-8, four speed and Posi Traction. He never did finish it up though. He lost interest and bought an old Taylorcraft Airplane to rebuild.

Now the Deuce is just buried in his Garage. Drives me absolutely crazy. He gives me that “someday” he will finish it speech and his Wife and I laugh.

Looks like his Daughter will end up gettig it and try to sell it to me. She knows I’ve always wanted that Car.

Then again, my Brother will probably outlive me. LOL

There must be some real wild rods out there. My sister and I have visited an aunt out there in a small town called (I know I'm going to spell it wrong)Gaveota,, Gaviota???? And now that I'm remembering,,,, she lived on a highway called El Camino Rio,,,,???? Real. We did see some wild cars out there.
