A life-long car nut, Art (with wife Carol) continues to enjoy all car activities into retirement.
Whether cruising in their 29 Ford RPU (including long distance trips), or racing his 68 Corvette BB Vintage road racer up & down the West Coast, or working on his 39 Ford Deluxe project (flat-head powered), they are always smiling and " on the go ".
Family is very important as well and, with 5 adult children having 8 grandchildren, constant activities are either hosted in their home or vacationing.
Hot rodding plans for '08 include driving the 29 RPU to Pomona for the LA Roadster's Father's Day event and further progress on the 39 project, which may see a cross-country drive in summer '09.
