There have been a number of Vintage Chevrolets parked in the Farris' garage over the past 40 some years. I wish that they were all still there, However reality and space dictate the number at any given time. Over the years each one of our vehicles has given us special memories of family and club outings. As time goes by I'll try to elaborate on these cars, but for now I'd like to tell you a little bit about our 490 Roadster. We actually have two, the first one has been under a slow restoration the past 26 years, but more about that later.
