Cars & Coffee – February 2026

I did talk to the owner of this, (above) what I call a Cadillac Coupe. It was built by him and his Father,very time consuming build. It has a narrowed 1947 hood and front grill.The front fenders are also from a 47 Caddie. The doors, top, and rear fenders and trunk are from a British MG.It sits on a modified 1977 Camero frame and chassie.It is powered by a 350 Chevy engine. As you might expect it caught everyones eye and was the talk of the day. Really a fun car. 

The Pinto [below] is owned by Tom Lewis, who sold his Ranchero and bought the Pinto. I think he found it in Colfax. It has a 289 bored to a 302 and he says it will do wheelies. I told him he should get a set of wheelie bars for it! Don’t punch it to hard! and keep all four on the ground! Take Care, Keep the wheel side down!
