Smith keeps old cars running with a new lease on life
Larry Smith of Gar den City dedicates his life to refashioning vintage autos into works of art. In his hilltop workshop he lists a 1936 Cord a 1936 Ford Cabriolet a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible a 1932 Ford Crown Victoria and a 1934 Ford five window coupe. He recalls hunting parts for the 1934 five window which sat in a wheat field for 50 years before restoration and notes the 1934 five window has run 31 000 miles in five years with speeds up to 110 miles per hour. At 78 he remains driven by the craft and family memories inspiring his work.
