15 seconds of Fame
My last Daily driver was a 1955 Chevy Wagon that I restored in 13 months from rust bucket to show winner, but was waaay too nice to toss the hounds in and travel the countryside. My work, Guaranty Chevrolet in Junction City, was very helpfull allowing me to work on it before work, lunch hours, after work and most weekends. I had our body and paint shop restore the outside and I handled all of the mechanicals and farmed out the uphoulstery. It turned out great and they wanted to use it in their ad campaign and also for our local show and cruise, The Function for Junction. The show draws 700-1000 cars and trucks and thousands of people every year, it's usually a sell out and always standing room only down main street for the cruise. I sold the 55 and purchased " a Suburban in a basket". Guaranty Chevrolet was there to help. They let me again work on my daily driver indoors, making sure it was moved out in time for the Technicians to use their stalls the next morning. Some of the overhaul had to be done at home as to not interfere with productivity and getting customers back on the road. Well, this year they asked to borrow the Burb for a photo shoot for the new Dealer ad's and to market the Function for Junction, I was honored. Here is one of the many shots they took, staging different cars, trucks and layouts.
