My husband, Tom Dudley, is a restorer who has gained fame for his restorations among 1936-1937 Cord automobile gurus, but those Classic cars aren't his only passion. "In 1958, I got my first car, and the first thing I did was customize it," Tom says. "I pulled off all the chrome — 'Who needs that?' It would last a year and then I would move on to another one (and customize it), but I really like the custom work." About five years ago, Tom returned to his teenage hot rod roots and built a copy of the famous but long-lost 1935 Kurtis-DuVall Southern California Plating Co. (aka So. Calif. Plating Co.) delivery truck. |
