At age of 16 Joe's first car was a 1931 Ford Model A.  Over 6 years the car evolved from a bone stock "A" to a full on HOT ROD, with a hopped up 283 engine that would pull the front wheels off the ground.  Joe had his "A" in the Winter nationals, being invited to participate in such a prestigious  event was quite a thrill.
