We love your car stories

Today I got email from a customer and it gave me goosebumps.
Thanks for sharing. We love hearing why our customers love their cars. Please continue to share. Here it is.

Received the '53 Buick grille ring. Special made size 8 without minimizing the size of the Buick. And it's perfect!

We all have a story looking back. Mine is...

In Michigan...during the Great Depression...my Dad stood in the snow day after day at the General Motors plant. And each day out of hundreds they took three men to work. One day my Dad said "What's wrong with me?"...so he was waved in to work. He stayed with General Motors for 40 years. His first job was in the pit applying creosote to running boards. He was General Superintendent of the South Gate CA plant (BOP - Buick Oldsmobile Pontiac) at the time the 1953 Buicks were rolling off the line. I wear the Buick for him.

Many Thanks,
D.A.

Typically when our family takes road trips we incorporate skateboarding because my husband and kids all skateboard and I enjoy the opportunity to photograph our journeys. During the summer I had joined our Class Facebook page every so often I would see something new posted about our upcoming event. A lot of people from our class I had already connected online with. One day I saw a post of a “Really Cool Camaro” come through. The question was “Which RHS graduate from the class of 1990 still owns this car?“ Well I was the only one that responded and happened to guess right. The car had been restored and looked way better than it did back in the day. A couple days later I got an email from someone on...
