CASSIDY MEANS Cassidy Means out of Longmont, Colorado, has been working on her ’71 Pontiac T-37 since she was born and she may never be done. The Pontiac runs a 5.3 LS conversion with a 4L60E automatic overdrive tranny, 18-inch American Racing wheels with low-profile Hexa rubber, an upgraded suspension with QA1 coil-overs, LED headlights, factory air conditioning from a Chevy, and a flamed black-on-black paint job. Her dad painted flames over all the cool T-37 accessories, like the wing and scoops. Hope to see you in Pueblo in 2026.
BLAKE HOLMAN Blake Holman’s ’86 Ford Crown Victoria out of Livonia, Michigan, has been slammed using a full Air Ride kit from Ridetech with hidden controls in the ash tray. The 20-inch Detroit Steel steelies with Diamondback Redline rubber complement a red pinstripe highlight. Blake bought the car from a family friend for $4,000 with only 34,000 miles on the odometer so the stock paint, 302ci EFI engine, AOD tranny, and red cloth/velour interior were in great shape. All Blake had to do was change out all the rubber and he was ready to cruise to high school in his first car. Blake has already created a super cool look for his Crown Vic so we’ll see if any more mods are on the horizon.
THOMAS CARVEY Thomas Carvey and his grandfather built his gorgeous ’57 GMC 150 stepside into a cool pickup, especially
if you live in Proctor, Vermont, like Thomas. The pickup sits on an ’87 Chevy full-size frame with an IFS, front disc brakes, a parallel-leaf Chevy rear, and a W-block 348ci big-block Chevy wearing triple deuces. His grandfather straightened out the body, laid down the Metallic Blue Pearl paint, painted the bumpers Midnight Sky, and added the white and gray interior featuring a Bluetooth radio. After wiring the pickup and picking out the sweet ZZC wheels wearing oversized Primewell rubber, we hope that your grandfather’s gift brings you a lifetime of joy rodding around the Northeast.
TANNER GERARD The ’67-72 Chevrolet C10 is one of our favorites and they don’t get much cooler than Tanner Gerard’s gorgeous ’68 50th Anniversary Gold C10 out of Muscatine, Iowa. The special-order Anniversary Gold (code 551) and off- white Ivory (code 526) paint are factory which has patinaed to perfection.
Tanner has accomplished everything else, including a blueprinted 332ci SBC with Speedmaster aluminum heads. The C10 features disc brakes with a Wilwood master cylinder, a 4 1/2- and 6-inch CPP dropped front and rear suspension, 20-inch Detroit Steel wheels, the stock SM465 four-speed and the original 12-bolt with posi and 3.73 gears. Bob Bean added a custom interior with a bench seat and a stunning sound system.
