    “When I was 6 (in 1960), walking home from school, I found a Model-A roadster in the woods near my house on Long Island. I tried to get a friend to help me push it home because I wanted to turn it into a hot rod. I thought I’d put bicycle tires on the front and snow tires on the rear.

    “After the barn find books did so well, I began getting calls from lots of video producers wanting to do a show about finding old cars. I didn’t especially like what they were proposing because they said I wasn’t enough of a character and didn’t have enough personality.
