| Hello, from Alabama! I’m a new member that just bought a 1976 Ford Elite, that my grandfather bought new in Cullman, Alabama. I’m excited to have it back in the family. I learned how to drive in it, when visiting my grandparents. I even live in my grandparent’s old house, so the Elite is in the same garage it used to stay in. It needs a lot of work, though, and I may throw lots of questions your way. 😁 |
