Nighthawk (Bob Forrest)
Bob writes: "I'm an old car guy for sure. I'm 49 years
old and live in Toronto, married, and I work for GM on the line building Silverados
and Sierras, and I've worked for them for 30 years now.
I got into the old car hobby actually as a kid when, in 1974, I bought a '57
Chevy, sold it in '75 and then bought a '56 Chevy which I sold when I got
my first house. I wasn't able to get back into the hobby 'til 1998 when I
bought a rather tired '58 Chevy, which I fixed up (A LOT) and I sold it in
2003.
My 59 Chevy came along in 2001, an all original Green and White 4-door sedan
Impala, which turns a lot of heads.
Back in April I spotted a black 59 Plymouth on a car lot near my house. I
always did like the look of them and so I stopped to look at it -- it looked
good to me, but I thought the last thing I needed was another old car. But
this car kept luring me back there, it almost jumped out at me and said "buy
me,take me home!"
So after a lot of thinking, I went over there in July, drove it and bought
it on the spot! It runs like its new, and like I said it only has 25750 miles
on it, (I checked the mileage today) it's all original and it's great to drive,
it's black with a red and gray interior, it was originally gray, has no radio,
and it's very straight and solid, love it!!"
