What else do you drive?
« on: November 24, 2013, 01:59:14 AM »
Obviously we all like early iron. But what else makes you tick? Personally I have a huge addiction to lowered Chevy trucks. Although I do like anything with wheels, the Chevy's make me smile the most.

Let's see what else has passed through your garages.
Here's a few pics of the other stuff that I built or in the process of building to start us off.

Those are some cool trucks. The only truck I ever owned was a VW diesel that finally rusted out so bad that I recently had to send it to the promised land. For now I'm having to borrow my wife's car until I decide on a replacement.

In order to answer this I need to have a clarification on the terms "vintage Chevy" and " early Bowtie". I considered my '38 Ford coupe to be vintage when I got my license in '61 but it was only 23 years old and not technically an antique yet. My first new car was a '70 Blazer it is now 43 and about as vintage as a Blazer gets. Of my GMs it is the second newest. I have a '53 pickup, a '68 flatbed, and a '99 Yukon that are all less vintage than the '26 roadster project.  ;D

You guys have some cool rides.  My daily driver is a 2002 Toyota 4Runner but when I go on vacation I always rent a convertible like this one from my trip out west this summer.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!
