Topic: Hoffman Vehicles
1956 Ford - (1959-1960) Photos taken by Bob Hoffman at home in Tallahassee in about 1960. I believe I bought this car late in my senior year and kept it through my first year at FSU. Note the custom touches: removal of the vertical bars in the grille, specially painted spinner hubcaps, fender skirts, and insertion of Buick "bullet" taillight lenses in the center of the Ford taillights. Mouse over the photo to see the rear of the car, including the Dixie Drag-Uns car club tag hanging proudly from the rear bumper (click here for details on the Dixie Drag-Uns). One of my major memories of this car is when the Bondo started falling out of the rusted areas underneath both doors after I'd had the car for a year or so - I merely put in new Bondo and repainted before trading it off for the 1959 Pontiac. Car in background here is my mother's 1958 Buick - I think she went through more cars than my brother and I did.
