Hi! My name is Chris and I am 15 years old. Now don't think that because I am young I can't appreciate a car, because I do. I am a Falcon owner and enthusiast. I own a '63 Ford Falcon Futura 4 door hardtop sedan which is in the restoration process, and I will drive it to school everyday when I get my driver's license in January. It definitely my pride and joy.
I am a native of Bremerton, WA, a semi-urban city across Puget Sound form Seattle. It rains too much here in my opinion, but I've heard that it's alright compared to living in a hot and humid climate.
I have begun the restoration on my car and it is coming along quite nicely. I have finished about one eighth of the body work and the interior still needs a little work. I am also installing a "killer" stereo system in it, but the cool thing is when you get in my car you won't be able to tell that it is installed! The guy that is doing it, my brother in law, is going to conceal every single part of the stereo so the car still looks completely original. I am even leaving the AM radio in and it will still be functional. The only change I think I will have to make is to convert from a generator to an alternator, so I can power my amps. Besides the stereo and maybe the conversion, the car will remain stock. I am going to try and have the original color sprayed on also.
I am the third owner of my car. It was originally a county commissioner's car, but at the time he was a principal at a local high school. It was then sold to a guy that my dad works with, and then about eight months ago it was sold to me for $900, and it was in pretty good shape! It was only missing one of the script "Falcon" emblem from the rear fender on the right side, and the "Futura" roof emblems were bent so those need replacing, but other than that it was pretty good. I mean, sure, the paint was a little rough and the seats were pretty aged, but that adds character!
Right now I am a Sophomore at Olympic High School in Silverdale, WA and I want to go on to the University of Washington and then go to the University of Washington Law School, and then do what I love to do for a living, argue. My family is just a giant debate team and gatherings are always full of arguments, so I fit in really well!
