Why this car? When I was 20 years old, I bought one just like it. But then I got married and had kids, so I sold that car. Now that I’m older and could afford to buy another one, I did. I’ve been restoring her for four years.
What’s special about Woodward and/or the Dream Cruise for you? I’ve been going to the Dream Cruise since it started. I’ve worked for Chevrolet for a lot of years and they’re sponsoring it this year, so that’s even more of a reason to go. I’m not sure how they feel about me driving a Ford, though.
