At some point after my first PCS meet in 1993 I made this photo by adding my face to a picture of a 1960 S/S Victoria Hearse. I cut and pasted my head in the drivers seat and frames the picture.
It was hung in my office at work.
I was very impressed with Tom Hoczyk's 1960 S/S Victoria Hearse ! So much so that I must have made this in hopes of owning one someday.
I don't even remember making it.
Well, I worked at that automotive job for 17 years and left in 2000.
When I left that job I put a bunch of files, catalogs, that photo and some other random things in a box and took it home.
14 years later, I am renovating my basement and come across a bunch of things I had stored away and haven't seen for quite a long time.
I opened that box tonight and see the photo. I was presently pleased to find this blast from the past ! Like I said, I didn't even remember making the photo but it is just like things I use to do often.
Well, as it turns out... I do own a 1960 S/S Victoria Hearse now !!!
I guess dreams do come true as I have mentioned in the past with also acquiring the actual 1960 MM Futura Hearse from Rick Stockellburg that was also at the 1993 meet that I bought after 19 years of first seeing the car !
I guess with a dream, time and money... anything can happen !!!
My Drive and Perseverance has certainly proven to be something I never gave up on and it has been a very worthwhile dream come true !
Thanks for reading my story about my recent blast from the past find.

P.S. Does anyone know who's car this one is ? I can't see the name plates in the window very well but I am sure someone will identify it real quickly. Thanks in advance.
