Bankrupt!

Courtney Hansen 55 Chevy.jpg

Can you believe that’s the name David & Kathy Cates gave to this gorgeous ’55 Chevy Nomad? But that’s how costly the restoration felt like! We all know that feeling when working with old cars and trucks right? But this beauty was worth it; scoring 999 points out of a 1000 at the Super Chevy Show. Plus this weekend we buy a 2008 Mustang on AutoTrader.com to help a very special children’s charity. Then we’ll add some cool performance and styling upgrades. Check it out this weekend!
