Lost in the 50's - by Jim Ehrlich

One of the interesting things about being in the car business is the people that you meet. Larry Gardner is one such individual. He is the existential car guy who not only loves cars but loves to build and tinker with a wide assortment of vehicles mainly from the Fifties. Retired from the sheet metal business, he built a shop for his projects and a place where he can relax and enjoy his passion for Pickup Trucks and Cooking. The following pictures will give you just a glimpse of his shop and his collection of various projects and accomplishments.
