The Car Addiction

In 2021 Covid would create the perfect storm, with the lockdowns and inability to travel, I saw a posting online for an estate sale and a 1954 Belair sports coupe that was in need of restoration.

Now, I have always loved the old cars, the dressing styles and even the music of that era. So I thought to myself well here is your chance, if your ever going to own a car you need to build one for two main reasons. First, you have to earn it, you have to learn so you can maintain it, and if you build it it will be an adventure. Second, I couldn't possibly justify spending 50-80 thousand dollars for a car. 

However, there was a twist someone else bought the entire state before I could get to the car. That person turned out to be a close friend of my dad. He called me a couple days later and told me he had a car that I may want to buy. Sure enough, it was the very car, so uncle Joe, as I call him now, sold me the car. He was the first to teach me  about car stuff. He taught me how to rebuild the carburetor, installed new points, cap and she fired up. The rest as they say is history!
