About alwaysakid’s Garage
About me and my passion for cars
I've been into cars for as long as I can remember and have attended car shows in at least 10 different states from the Eastern Seaboard to the Rocky Mountains over the past 30 years. I like original antique cars, but have a taste for street rods and customs as well. I like the styling of the 1950s best. I currently own a two-owner 1961 Thunderbird and a modified 1951 Chevy sedan delivery. Past rides of interest have included a 1960 Oldsmobile 88, 1954 Nash Metropolitan, 1958 Mercury Monteclair, 1966 Chevy Nova, 1971 Chevy Caprice and a 1968 Rambler American, not necessarily in that order.
My first car
My first car, a 1973 Datsun 610, was bought more out of practicality and as a political statement than for its styling or performance.
Car I wish I still had
I wish I still had my 1966 Nova, minus the damage a Rochester, NY taxi did to it one day when my wife was driving it. That was back before they knew how to straighten a bent frame.
My dream car
I'll try to keep the list as short as I can. But near the top would be a 1936 or 1937 Cord, 1955 or 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria and a 1957-1960 Studebaker Hawk.

What's he thinking?
Sep 17, 2008
I thought maybe we could have a little fun with this picture. What's going through this little boy's mind? "Is there a hemi in there?" "This must dispense something." "The sign...

Filed under: 1961 Ford Thunderbird (T-Bird)
My '61 Thunderbird looks great with wide white walls. But alas, wide white walls apparently are not in the cards for my T-Bird, although I did put in a good effort. I had...
That First Car

A lot of people treasure their first car. And some are lucky enough to still own it. But not me. Don't get me wrong, the 1973 Datsun 610 hardtop coupe was a pretty cool car....
