How long you've had it? Since 1997
Why this car? I learned to drive at age 15, in the same year as this car. I spent 25 years dreaming and searching for a 1939 Ford, and I've had it now for 25 years. I traded a classic Lincoln for this car because the previous owner's girlfriend loved my Lincoln. This is a "stock" car, which means all parts are original. The only reason it's upgraded to a deluxe model is because it has two sun visors and an arm rest.
What’s special about Woodward and/or the Dream Cruise for you? My wife and I have been coming to the Dream Cruise since Day One. We also have a 1957 Chevy that my wife drives up here. We love seeing old friends and all the cars along the way.
