The Lost Hot Rod

One-off to please

- GREGG OVIST

As an avid car enthusiast, and owner of GEEZZUP.COM, a classic car locator service, I spend a lot of time combing through the internet for cars for my clients.

One day I was looking through Craigslist and I found this post that showed no pictures just said” Old Classic Car for Sale” Normally, I would not even look at this type of post. There was something about it that intrigued me. This is where my journey started with the ‘54 Coupe.

I reached out to the contact from the post and after numerous calls and leaving a few voicemails that went unanswered I gave up and moved on to other vehicles. Months later I received a call from Cal, a very nice older gentleman, he said that he was returning my call from the previous month inquiring about his car. I asked if the car was still for sale, and he said that it was. I asked if he could send me some pictures. He said he was unable to send me photos (come to find out he had an old flip phone).
