1947 Ford Convertible

Guy Graham is owner and restorer of this really hot 1947 Ford Convertible Street Rod. He has been to Florida and back, in his really hot red convertible, 5 or 6 times. Guy has managed to put 70,000 miles on it since he first restored it, so one can see that he drives it. This street rod has a 350 Chevy TPI motor, 700R4 Transmission, 12 bolt 69’ Comaro rear and Heidt’s independent front-end. The tires are BF Goodrich T-A radial on Halibrand Sprint wheels. A tan top, tops this hot street rod and tan cloth interior completes the picture. Guy often shows his street rod at the Ludlow Elks Cruise night on Tuesday nights.

1978 Pontiac Firebird Elite

Springfield Massachusetts resident, Ron Winslow proudly drives this classy metallic blue 1978 Pontiac Firebird Elite. Ron wasn’t looking for this particular model car when he came upon it as he drove to work one day 5 years ago. Upon further inspection, Ron discovered that the car was all-original (except for exterior paint) and in excellent condition. The car had originally been purchased as a gift to a young lady graduating from high school. It had been well maintained over the years even after it had become a family car. The original sticker and all of the original manuals and paperwork were with the car. What a great find for someone like Ron, who is interested in the older, finer automobiles.
This Firebird is a T-Top with 350 motor, automatic transmission, stock front and rear, dual exhausts, disc front brakes and drum rear. The interior is light blue vinyl. Ron also installed an alarm system in the car.
Ron, a 1993 tennis champ, is now an avid golfer, a sport he shares with his wife Dottie at the Hampden Country Club
