"My truck was purchased by my father-in-law in 98 it was a demo and had about 3k miles when he got it, he went and had the top put on and painted the same color as soon as he got it and he has always took great care of it. My wife and I moved in with him a few years back to be able to take care of him and he knew I've loved these trucks since they came out so being the great man he was he left the truck to me when he passed away so since then my oldest son and I have been starting to build it.

What kind of work have you done to this vehicle?
"This 1948 Oldsmobile was the car that taught me many of my skills that I possess today. Although was running when I got it, needed EVERYTHING. Because I was 16 years old and in school, I didn't have much money, but I wanted to make the car nice. I bought a Chilton's repair manual, a "how to do body work" and a "how to upholster your vehicle" book. I took my time and went as far as I could on my own, and then I took an adult ed class and was able to paint my car. It took me 2 years to complete the body work, another year for the upholstery work, and another year to complete the mechanical work. If you have questions, feel free to ask me. The only thing I didn't do was chroming." @JJFerrero

"Ever since I was a kid a 1955 F-100 was #3 on my all time if I could ever list. On my 40th birthday my wife and daughter surprised me with this gem. It needs a lot work to be my dream but it was an amazing gift from my family." @Jacelippert

"I have owned this 47 NASH Ambassador for 35 years. I purchased it from my father after he let me drive it 500 miles one way to a NASH Car Club Meet in Lancaster, PA. We got to the show and my Father decided to sell the car after he saw a 54 NASH Ambassador for sale at the meet. I told him I wanted the 47 NASH. At the time I owned a 1983 Pontiac Trans-AM Daytona 500 pace car. I came home and told my wife I was selling the Trans-Am and buying the 47 NASH. She said I was crazy. Were still together...we still own the 47 NASH and it's now her favorite car in our NASH/Rambler/AMC collection. Ironically a 1947 NASH Ambassador Trunkback was the Indianapolis 500 pace car in 1947. So I still own a pace car!" @themayor

"Not sure if I ever submitted pictures of my Vette and Buick or not. 1993 Chevy Corvette 138,000 miles 2007 Buick Lucerne 100,000 miles DD. I purchased the Vette in 2006 after selling my 1997 Stratos 282 Bass boat with 150 HP Evinrude. It was a basket case but it has achieved over 50 trophies within 100 mile radius car shows. The Buick I purchased in 2020. It was a low mileage one owner vehicle with the 3800 3.8 litre V6. I wanted this year for the reliable 3.8." @lindenbob
