Dead Pony Brought back to life!
How many times have you found yourself gawking in amazement? It doesn’t happen every day, but if you’re observant and have decent vision, it’ll happen. I’m not talking about finding true love here.

1957 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Convertible. We purchased this car in 2013. When my wife and I were dating in high school, this was our favorite car and color.

Ashes in the clear coat
I’ve been to plenty of car shows and met lots of auto enthusiasts. One thing they have in common is talking about their cars. In fact, they have more stories than Walt Disney. More than once I’ve found myself trapped in a hostage conversational situation, looking for a way to escape. On the other hand, I’ve
