1940 Black Business Coupe 340
 
I bought this on a whim thinking I would be driving it within a year. I didn't realize how much work I was getting into. It was a good way to use up spare time though. Working on it was better than watching TV or mowing the grass. Four years later it's done and I can go to car shows instead of watching TV.

My son bought a house and this was in the garage. The owner didn't want to take it with him, so I bought it.
