What's in Your Dad's Garage II

The photo of my dad doing a driveway burnout in his '55 Chevy was one of our most popular entries so far. We used it to explain how we became crazy about cars. (Fact is, it was probably more a result of sucking Permatex fumes from a young age.) Since restoring the '55, Dad has a new project -- a '37 Chevy pickup.
Dad says he always wanted a '37 because his parents drove one when he was born. Of course, it wasn't hot rodded with a small block and '70s pinstripes like this one. Dad spent half a decade or more restoring the '55, and says he's not going to do it again with the pickup. That remains to be seen. Looks to us like he's heading down the same road, only doing it a piece at a time.
Dad says my first car ride was probably in his '70 Impala. Not quite as cool as the pickup, but Dad is quick to mention that it did have a 400 and a 4-speed.

  1. Car is definitely one thing that men love the most. They are fond of ticking those metals.
