A new 2007 Infiniti G35X. That was when I bought the pickup. She fell in love with the 53 Courier on the trip back to NH from the 2012 Florida Barners Bash. We turned that trip into a leisurely road adventure.

Me oh my, how them Ford's do stand out in a crowd!

Here's my parents' '53 wagon on a ferry crossing the Mississippi in 1959 when I was 7 (same year they bought Old Henry).

Mine's not like anyone else's, but, then, I'm not much like anyone else.
I had been singing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir for 6 years rehearsing every Thursday night for our T.V. broadcast every Sunday morning when I started restoring Old Henry with my 15 year old son, Morgan. It wasn't many months into the project when I realized I would rather stay home Thursday night and work on Old Henry with Morgan than go to choir rehearsal so gave my notice of resignation and ended that very great experience for an even greater one with my son.

I've had my Merc way longer then my wifey. I consider myself lucky that she puts up with my hobby and that she agrees with me that my Merc is my therapy. Besides that I couldn't afford an other one trying to raise 4 kiddos Randy
