Brian Storey and his spouse Bridgette recently moved to Rossville, Georgia (near Chattanooga, TN) from Sebastian, Florida. Brian is an accomplished leatherworker and photographer, and Bridgette is a frequent subject of his photographs. Brian's '59 Sport Fury has a "Storey'd" history, as you will learn. But first some automotive eye candy!
Brian's Uncle Steve previously owned the Sport Fury. '59 Forum members remember Steve from his first visit to the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle with the Fury in 2009.

Subsequent to his visit, the Fury suffered the indignity of having a barn fall on it, and Steve then began the process of restoration in earnest.
Steve had eclectic automotive interests, and the collection of automobiles to prove it.
In 2023 at the age of 76, Steve Storey died - leaving behind a treasure trove of automobilia. Fortunately, the Sport Fury stayed in the family, with Brian taking ownership.
