We all have our stories about how we got into the car hobby. For some of us it was through friends, others through family, and others still, it was simply forcing their way in because they simply loved the idea of it. Courtney Leonard grew up in the San Francisco Bay area surrounded by everything from flat bottom drag boats and 60’s muscle cars to traditional open-bay hot rods. Her Father is a lifelong hot-rodder, and for as long as she can remember, she was tied to his hip whenever his aquatic or automotive exploits took place.  On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ Podcast host Mike Musto sits down with Courtney to see just how deep her love of hot rods is and talks about just how important the car hobby has been in her life.
