Welcome to My 58 car Page!!

In 1975 an older farmer name "Sam", (name of the car) drove his 1958 Delray car down a dirt road north of Zap, North Dakota. As he crested the hill he hit a cow standing on the road and smashed up the front end of the car. In the 70's, North Dakota had a law that if someone hit your cow on the highway you had to pay for the damage or buy the car. My bother-in-law bought the car for $250 and placed it on his farmland to rust. After my thinking about it, he gave the car to me, thinking it would keep a 14-year-old boy busy. I worked after school and weekends getting the car to run. I finally got it to run and drove it throughout high school, it really never did have a good paint job, but I enjoyed the car all the same. After high school in 1980, I parked the car at my parent's house. In 1995 I moved the car to my house and started working on it. 2001 I finished it, as it really is never finished but the paint, motor, tran and inside are done.... Here are the photos from this year.
