The New Arrival

Introducing "Red," our 1946 Plymouth Special DeLuxe 4-door. We purchased the car in April 2010 for two primary reasons:

1. To use in conjunction with Benita's photography business
2. To keep me off the streets and out of the house

Thus far I have spent more time under the hood than behind the wheel, and we have yet to use the car for weddings or the like. But that is coming soon.

In actuality, the car was in very good shape to start with... for a car that is 64 years old. We've already racked up one 1st Place Trophy in a local car show (for only best in class), and had a lot of fun as a family getting the car and display ready for the competition.

Through this blog I hope to document the work we put into the car. This is to keep me motivated when I get frustrated, perhaps give some tips and advice to anyone else looking to travel down the same path, and to showcase the incredible work Benita does with the car in her photography business. Please check out her websites; they are listed to the right, or you can get there by following these links: A Sweet Life Studio, Lipstick Legends.
