I grew up in Valley Stream long Island, my 1st real job was working at the Brooklyn Navy Shipyard. As soon as i could afford it I bought my 1st new car a 1964 Austin Healey Sprite. In 1965 they closed the shipyard and i transferred to the Long Beach Navy yard. Saved my money and in 1968 I bought a new EType coupe, which i still own. So i would have 4 seater i than bought a 1963 Studebaker Avanti which I still own and turned into a show car. In 2009 I bought a radical custom 61 T bird, to see goggle (61 t bird firestar) and john d'Agostino site will come up with my t bird pics, from the Petersen Museum My E type has been sitting for over 13 years and now i about to do a full restoration, as soon as i find a good shop. For fun I ride a BIG DOG chopper, at least for the next few years. While i am big into the car hobby for relaxation i am a gourmet cook which is way less stressy than cars r.

wow thanks allof you for your kind words. I will be able to post a pic of my E type in a couple of weeks. Meantime if there is any interest i could always post a shot of my 1963 Stude Avanti and my radical custom 61 T bird. I guess you will now bw able to figure out howI liketoset up my cars. The E type now has and most likly will be repained the same White with violet pearl I also considering a few other mild changes. However It will not look the the E type that Raymond Lowey did
