LES Young has a penchant for early Ford V8s and a soft spot for the original factory styling. His ‘52 Ford Woody made the cover of our March 2002 issue and was followed by a feature on his 1936 Ford Tudor in our March 2007 mag.

They were spurred on by images seen in American hot rod magazines available in Kiwi bookshops.
