I purchased my first car when I was 18 years old. It was a 53 ford Victoria Hardtop just like the one pictured. I drove the car through college and traded it in on a newer car in 1963. I had a bad feeling at the time I traded the car, but soon got over it.

 Years later after accidently seeing an antique car show I knew I wanted to find a 53 Ford like my first car and restore it.  I began to search for a 53 Ford Victoria and it took me over 10 years to find one. I restored the car to be an exact replica of my first car. It is my pride and joy.
