The Timeless Beauty Of A1960 Buick LeSabre

The 60’ LeSabre runs so incredibly well and when I am rolling around in this car it pulls more thumbs-ups than any of my other cars. So why change it? Maybe someday the engine may let loose and then I will look at what new possibilities could happen with the LeSabre.” For now, Larry will continue to roll around in this gorgeous 1960 Buick LeSabre taking in all the thumbs-ups and giving the styling of all the other cars on the road a run for their money.

Mega 4WD - A Five Ton Tonka Truck

In the early 1980’s, a new series of 5 ton, 6x6 military trucks were being built for the United States military. The trucks came in many models such as a cargo, dump, wrecker, and more. However, I don’t think that the United States military heads could have ever envisioned a time in the future when a father and a son would buy a bobbed version of the 5-ton, paint it purple, and tow trailers for Mardi Gras with it!

Kevin Clarke's Meaningful Mercedes Gasser

Interestingly when Kevin Clarke thinks of a gasser it has a little more class but still all the trash because it is a 1968 Mercedes 250s. It may be hard to imagine anything other than an older sophisticated gentleman with a pressed suit and a gray curly mustache driving this car but I don’t think old men are laying patches of smoldering rubber with their Mercedes.

More Than A Car - Miller and Son Collision's 1981 Trans Am

“Viral” a 1981 Trans Am Pro Touring build from Miller and Son Collision is a physical embodiment of the power of a father (James Sr) and son (James Jr) team who share a tremendous passion for cars.

In the end the truck took Chad and one other guy two years to complete while keeping up with all his other business and family responsibilities. The final product is a truck that is undeniably custom but still has that defined look that makes people question “Do I know what kind of truck that is?” One of Chad’s goals from the start was to build something that he could look at from every angle and like it, that goal was accomplished and then some.

Past and Future of Gateway Rides

I wanted to push myself and try something I had no experience with or knowledge of. During those days I would spend countless hours scrolling through various car pages, and this made me think, why don’t I start my own car page. I have always had a deep passion for cars and talking to others about their cars. I spent days thinking if I would grow, if it were a waste of time, how does running a page even work.
