        benefited from a comprehensive frame-off restoration.
        It’s powered by a factory Ford Coyote 5.0-liter V8
        engine backed by a 6R80 automatic transmission and a
        Ford 9-inch rear end with 4.56 gears. It is also equipped
        with a Dana transfer case and upgraded with a Dana
        44 front axle. Mickey Thompson wheels with bead-lock
        rims complete the look.

        First Prize in 1999. It is powered by a 322ci Nailhead V8
        engine coupled with an automatic transmission. The car
        has been mechanically sorted with no expense spared, and
        it features a power top, power brakes and power steering.
        The 1957 Desoto Adventurer convertible (opposite
        page, center) offered from the collection has been
        fully restored and is finished in factory gold with
        white accents. Power comes from a 345ci HEMI V8
