It was 53 years ago today, New Years Eve, that I purchased my '33 at age 16. Several friends and I removed the engine that night. It was overhauled back on the road by March and driven until 1965 when I started to restore the body which had a lot of rust out around the bottom. I was then drafted and it went into storage until 1970 when I drove it for the last time from Portland to Oakland. It was apart and back together again at least four times in California, Kansas and Houston. Finally last year I got serious and it is now back on the road.

Sometimes it takes a long time but never give up. My love is back on the road and I am enjoying it as I did some 53 years ago.
