BOB FALFA: “Hey, you’re supposed to be the fastest thing in the Valley, man, but that can’t be your car. It must be your mama’s car. I’m sorta embarrassed to be this close to ya.”
JOHN MILNER: “I’m not surprised, drivin’ a Field Car.”
FALFA: “Field Car? What’s a Field Car?’
MILNER: “A Field Car runs through the fields, drops cow shit all over the place to make the lettuce grow.”

Those lines can help when you need a smile on your face or if you need a little inspiration when it comes to building a hot rod. It was (both car-guy cinema classics) that inspired John Blane to build a ’55 Chevy in a style that reflects both of those cars. “This car has been a childhood dream after watching and ,” John confesses. “Those two cars were totally badass and influenced me to build this car the way it is.”
