of a stock &#8217;64 Ford Falcon (aka the Falc) &amp; a &#8217;57 Plymouth Sports Belvedere (aka the Belv). I&#8217;m still working on Belv, but I&#8217;m happy to say I finally saved enough to buy a new 260 engine for Falc! I love to hang out with my 7 year old twins, hiking with my boxers Chance &amp; Emma, &amp; going on adventures with my boyfriend Stuart \ud83d\ude42 And of course I love to drive Falc to car shows and cruise nights. I have so much fun doing pinup pics! Being a lover of history, I pride myself on replicating the look of the 50s pinup. I have chosen to keep my cars stock as well, so people have an opportunity to see what the cars looked like when they rolled off the assembly line. I enjoy keeping my Falcon looking the same as when my grandpa bought him. For the Belv, I feel it never really had a chance to cruise the streets past 2 years from when it was created. (It sat in a barn from 1959-when the owner died- until 2012 when the barn collapsed). It&#8217;s a beautiful car and they are rarely seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Pinup of the Week: Erica Falcon.
