1949 Chevrolet Club Coupe owned by Vince Ciganik of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Vince was a member of the Rev-Masters car club, and he bought the Chevy after his 1953 Ford convertible custom caught fire in 1959. It was Vince's brother that told him about the Chevy. It was in nice shape, but the motor was shot. "It's pained light green and has 58 Chevy taillights. I buy it and put a 57 Chevy 6 cylinder motor in it," Vince told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama in 2020. Now Vince is back on the road. In 1960 George Ray tells Vince about a customized 1954 Ford for sale. A car Vince remembered seeing in the summer of 1958. "George Ray wants to buy my 1949 Chevy, so I sell it to him and buy the 54 Grove Green Ford."
