Hello everyone,
Today I like to introduce myself. My name is Frank (24 years) and I live in the Netherlands (Europe). It's a long distance away from the United States of America...
Last year (2008) I had passed my study at an Automotive Managing University (IVA Driebergen) in the Netherlands. The study has an unique combination of managerial, commercial, technological, and social skills training.
As a result of this I made a big road trip of three months in the summer of 2008 through the United States of America together with a friend of mine. It was really awesome!! In July, August and September we drove more than 16.135 miles with a Ford F150 (1994)!! We bought this car in Texas. During our trip we saw 26 states: Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and finally Louisiana! Here you can see a picture of the route we drove.

In September we drove the Route 66 from Los Angeles to Chicago (I know, officially it’s the wrong way but you will see the same). When we arrived in Chicago we visit a classic car museum with a lot of beautiful classic cars. At that moment I met the car of my dreams, a completely nuts and bolt restored Chevrolet Impala coupe of 1959. It’s a first time offered car coming from a premier, private, Chevrolet car collection in Arizona. The car has an outstanding color combination and they are factory. The undercarriage is amazing! Primered floors, painted frame and completely detailed. Rust free with even the spot welds visible around the wheel well lips. There is also a completely new interior and chrome and the engine bay with the correct 59 tri power 348 engine is highly detailed. All the mechanics are rebuilt.
When I was back in the Netherlands in October I contacted the museum and bought this car. Last month (February 09) the car arrived in the Netherlands and for now I’m the proud owner of this car.
