About TomHughes’s Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've been loving cars forever. At age 7 or so I would sit at a typewriter and type all the names of all the cars that were for sale in the newspaper's classifieds.
My first car
I learned how to drive in my parent's '68 Chevy Caprice.
In High School my daily driver was a '74 Triumph Spitfire.
The first car I bought was a '65 Buick Skylark.
Car I wish I still had
The '65 Skylark
My dream car
The '65 Pontiac LeMans convertible that's parked behind my garage waiting for me to restore.
Car clubs I’m in
CORSA (Corvair Society of America)

- Nice set of Corvairs. I always thought they were interesting cars. You're not going to move the engine to the rear on that Pontiac, are you?

- Nice looking Corvairs! I have been thinking about painting my 61. Nice to see 3 corvairs in different colors. Helps to see them all on one site. Keep up the good work!

Lucy's List
Dec 15, 2008
I was going through car receipts the other night and found the one The Corvair Ranch wrote up when getting my '63 Corvar back on the road. I had towed her up there when my previous daily-driver was totalled by stop sign running dump truck. Here's the list...
Lucy Had the Shakes
Dec 15, 2008
I bought three decent used tires (Goodyears, $80, mounted and balanced) last Saturday in preparation for the drive down to SC for Christmas. I figured driving 1000 miles at highway speeds on the tires that came from the junkyard with the 280ZX wheels wasn't...
It Takes Two to Fix a Flat
Dec 10, 2008
I certainly had some heavenly help last night in the garage. My wife's car had an intermittent, slow leak in its right front tire. Three days ago, it was almost flat so I filled it with air. The next day, it was down 10 psi so I filled it again with the...
