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.

Hi Octane made The Carrotbox Blog Originally uploaded by aliciadesign I just love this blog. Alice at The Carrotbox Blog featured our Luv Bug ring today on her fabulous ring blog. She showcases all sorts of new and wonderful rings. Alice is a ring artist herself. She makes gorgeous lucite and glass rings. My favorite pieces of her work are her Kimono rings. I just love the fabric embedded in the ring. Thanks Alice.

LA Ink's Corey Miller

So you have all seen him on TV, one of the star's of LA Ink, Corey Miller. Do you remember playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon? Okay well here is our connection, our good friends Jill and Mark Cole, also neighbors and fellow bunko players, along with lovers of Retro style. Well, Mark plays bass in the band Powerflex 5 which is also the band that Corey plays drums with along with Steve Alba. So Mark introduced us to Corey up in Hollywood at a filming for one of the LA Ink shows. Another side note our oldest son Nolan is sponsored by Lester Kasai and Corey did the graphics for Lester's new pro-model boards, with the Koi fish, very cool... So we presented one of our Mercury car grille rings to Corey in hopes that it would end up on camera in one upcoming episodes. So watch for it. If you see it before us let us know. I have also asked Corey for a photo of him wearing it in front of the Kasai boards.
