Dave’s “Beat ’53” – Dave Serricchio ~ Connecticut. The picture with all the pieces is the way I purchased the car about 2 months ago, it was sitting in a barn in Connecticut for the past 30 years. Apparently 30 years ago the original owner sent the car to the dump and this fellow bought it and never could get around to finishing it. We went through the car and replaced everything from the ground up, motor and tranny are all brand new, all rebuilt. We replaced everything on the outside of the motor and just got it on the road on October 24, 2003, and been cruising ever since.
