i am from texas! i was at a CVA convention a few miles from jerrys house when i met him. he showed up in his red 460 powered 57 convertible and he invited my father and I back to his home. As soon as i walked in the garage I saw his 56 and my jaw hit the floor. I asked if it was for sale and it took him a few hours to give me a number. we agreed on a price and i came back the following weekend to pick her up! im very honored to own that car! i was 17 when i bought the car and i had to take a loan from the bank. my mother wasnt very happy! i finally got her to ride in it when she was here for thanksgiving. well long story short!!!!! SHE THINKS IM CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!
