How we got started

It all goes back to being born. Dad sold new Pontiacs at the time.

I got my first car at the age of 14 selling my go-cart for the cash required.

 An early 1930 Model A Ford Tudor sedan. 

This car taught me many lessons in it's Restoration including Auto Body Repair & Painting.     This came from necessity unable to afford to have the experts do it.    

The opportunity to do everything on this car gave me a Love and Appreciation for  Antique Cars and a Career to boot.

My complete resume is posted here:

 

A Life Member of the  and Past President (1974) of the ONEIDA LAKE REGION.

A member also of the    and the founding Director of the  SIX  NATIONS  CHAPTER, & Chapter President. (2002-2005)
