Daisy is our 1949 Ford Tudor

(Click on a picture for a larger view)

Purchased on eBay in August of 2005 she turned out to be more of a project
than we expected. We've tried to maintain her as classic as possible.
However, she has a 289 V-8, C4 transmission and 1980 Granada 3.0 rear end
all of which is very nice for driving down the freeway.
