Bravo to all.
Each one in some way or another has personilized our forward lookers and that is what the hobby means to me. I really love my car and have had it now for over 10 years and attended many meets including Carlisle. Even if we prefer a full blown 100 point resto or a rodded out Merc we all are in this hobby for the love of the cars.
Thanks for brightining up my fathers day. and happy fathers day to you all

Wayne's right on. Don't know about you, but for me, as a teen in the
50's, they ALL had to have skirts, duals, and other "Mods" to make it
MINE.
First a '33 Chevy coupe with painted on WW and a little warming up of
the engine.
Next a '49 Ford 2 door with duals and skirts. At the same time I also
had a '39 Chevy coupe with a 3/4 race Jimmy and split Manifold duals.
Came out each morning in my senior year and had to decide which car to
drive to school.
Then came a '49 Merc. conv, which was radically customized and soon
after a '51 merc. which I transferred parts over and continued the
mods.
Point being, we, many of us, did all these things as teens and ALL wish
we had those cars today. In my case, especially the "Li'l deuce Coupe"
with the 331 blueprinted Hemi.
If we could only drive our memories to the shows....

When we look through our family albums showing cars new and in their
early service years, what do we honestly see? From flivvers to the
full Classics, something very close to 50% of them BACK IN THE DAY had
modified paint schemes, hub cap swaps, fender skirts, suspensions
lowered or raised front or back, spotlights, fog lights, fender guides,
visors and etc. and under the hoods there were modifications including
cams, carbs and dual exhausts.
