A beautiful '49 Ford, owned by John "Ski" Woytonowski of Bayville, NJ. This lil darlin' won the chop top contest at the Fossils show last week, with a chop of 3 1/2". John said it took 4 years to restore! This is the '70 Plymouth Roadrunner of my paps, Jeff Gravatt of Brick, NJ.  There's a 383 engine in that baby!

Watch out! It's a Barracuda!  A blue beaut with a 340 engine, to be exact. This car is definitely the "Top Gun"!  It's owned by Greg Pszczola & was bought 7 years ago in great condition (some people have all the luck)! Greg states that the paint job cost about $1,100 a side & he had the new flame engine compartment put in 2000. Soon to be a different color!

This car is great in the summer heat, as it has A/C! It's a '32 Model B Ford with custom flames owned by Rich Oliver. It was practically Bel Air night at Aldrich! This is the first, a '55 with a 265 Power Pack engine owned by Wayne Harmov.

This Cobra is really something to sink your fangs into! A gorgeous yellow '73 Camaro with a 350 engine that belongs to John Beese.

Bel Air number two! Bel Air number three, a '58.

Bel Air number quatro, a '55 owned by Hal Arlany. My dream car... a '70 Chevy Chevelle with a 400 small block engine.  Owned by Pete Cederberg.

Bill French's '37 Ford Slant Back. A '54 Ford Customline belonging to Denis Fluet.

The "Memory"!  Jimmy Celano's work in progress, he tells me he bought it 4 years ago & is finally getting it into the shop for restoration... but it's so pretty!  Jimmy says he wants to revamp the insides, Good Luck! A '63 Ford Falcon... owned by the mysterious "Norman" (who is this guy?)

Go, Jimmy, go, Jimmy Be Good!  Jimmy's '58 Chevy Breezewood Wagon has a 348 engine & is a surfer's dream! Anthony Geletta's '57 Bel Air... it won Best of Show. Anthony says that it's a joy to drive & well worth everything he's put into it... and that it makes him feel like he's in the '50's!  Well, no one deserves the evening's trophy more than this happy cruiser.

A '78 customized Volkswagon owned by Don Hermansson, it's half-car, half-truck... it's a carck! Don told me he put the glitter (which you can't see well in the picture, but it looks great) on himself... he mized 17 vials of it with clear coat! A.C. Moore must've loved him that day! The always-wonderful Kevin Erhardt's '64 Ford Falcon Sprint with the 4-speed 289 engine.  Kevin rocks!  He gave my father a picnic table that folds to the size of a guitar case! Very cool!

A sweet Corvette Stingray. A '54 Mercury Hardtop.

"C'mon, Mr. DJ, play my favorite song..." Cruisin' with the Be-Bop Cruisers!
