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?
