Cruisin’

CRUISIN’: Tom Cooley took his pearl-white 34 Ford Coupe for a spin to Depot Park recently. Cooley said he worked on the car for years after purchasing just the frame and the shell. “I built this whole car myself,” he smiled. “Piece by piece. One piece at a time. I built it from the ground up.” He said the car contains parts from other kinds of vehicles including the rear end of a Firebird, a Camaro transmission, a Vega steering box and a steering column from a Grand Prix.
