Hey all, I've posted here a few times but realized I never properly introduced myself. My name is Joseph. I'm originally from Los Angeles but have spent most of my adult life in Texas. Last year our family moved from Dallas to my wife's native country of Italy. I'm located just north of Ancona near the coast.
I've been passionate about classic cars since my early twenties. Since then I've own and built several cars. One of my recent builds is currently featured in Custom Classic Trucks Magazine (Feb 2014). Though I consider myself a Chevy guy, my truck shared the garage with my 1965 Shelby Cobra (Factory Five Replica).
I sold my cars when we decided to move across the water. Now that I'm here I wish I had brought them. Anyway, I'm in the process of renewing my car passion here in Italy. A few months ago I purchased a 64' Fiat 500 D. I chose the Cinquino because it's an iconic Italian car. I've enjoyed it so far despite a mechanical problem that I hope to have fixed next week.
True to my Chevy nature, I also own a 1953 Chevy Bel Air. I purchased it last month in Florida. It is currently en route to Italy. I hope to have it here mid April.
Finally, I want to say I'm so glad I found this forum. My Italian e' non buono so being able to find information in english is a godsend
Here are a few photos of the cars.
