Central Valley Classic Cars

In honor of my father, here’s a picture of his ‘67 Ford Mustang.

 Doug Beames's 1967 Ford Mustang

I’ll do an article on this Mustang later in the year, including the back story, the family mustang tradition, work that has been done to get it to this state, and what’s ahead.

This picture was taken on the farm, just outside the shop where my father does the work he can do himself. My son Micah is learning to drive from “Grampy.”

UPDATE: I’ve added another picture, of Grampy and Micah checking out my brother Ben’s Auburn Speedster replica. The picture was taken around the corner from Jardines in San Juan Baptista. We got together there to celebrate Father’s Day. Incidentally, though all in the picture were present on Father’s Day, including the Speedster, this picture was taken at a previous Jardines meeting. We like Jardines. We meet there often.
