Millstone

Rob Ida of Millstone, New Jersey bought Lew Thompson's 1932 Ford roadster in August of 2017. Lew's roadster was originally hot rodded in the Los Angeles area in the 1940s. In 1948 Gene Winfield reworked the car at Winfield Custom Shop for current owner Joe Cardoza. Joe sold the car to Modesto Century Toppers member Lew Thompson. Circa 1960 Joe sold the roadster to fellow Modesto Century Toppers member Peter Hischier, who gave it a Candy Apple Red paint job. Circa 1963 Peter had Gene Winfield rework the car and give it a black paint job. This incarnation did also feature a fully chromed undercarriage. After buying the car, Rob and his crew at IDA Automotive spent some time bringing the car back to how it appeared in 1963.
