Wow-za!

Can't say enuff about one man's dream-come-true. Then to read, he's a good guy, to boot. That's cool how he likes power, regardless of platform. Miss Budweiser too? Yeah!

Like many of us, I'm looking at each photo and 'remembering when' I either owned one of this dude's hot-rod collection or simply, the first time I saw one of those cars "live and in color". Great memories.

S-w-e-e-t !!

Talk about putting all of your eggs in one basket. Maybe it comes from being on a fire department but all I can think of is if something ever happend they would all be gone.

WOW, WOW,WOW! To have that kind of a collection. Thanks for posting it. It brought back some memories. I had a 58 Impala when I got married. Many, many years ago.

How True, But I feel the 1 have could hang with that bunch Great photos by the way
