I started a business when I was 26, and when I kind of got my head above water at age 40 decided to do what I wanted to … What I wanted was a '48 Cadillac — that was the year I was born and the first year of the body change after World War II. That was a really neat car. I started getting more informed and more into it and said, "I’d like to get myself a 1930s car,” but I really didn’t know which one. I wanted something with running boards, something that was a convertible with a rumble seat, but I didn’t really know much more. I ran into an acquaintance who sold cars, and he said, ‘Randy, what you want is a LaSalle!" So we looked up the ‘35 in manuals and I said, "Whoa, this is what I want: side mounts, the top went down, and more importantly the windshield was only 9 inches high and it was real streamlined."
