🌴 California Dreamin’ Tribute: 1932 Ford Roadster

Frequent RIR attendees will recognize Rob Lehmann’s cool roadster. The story behind it:

“Owning a street rod had been a childhood dream that finally came to fruition after retirement. The journey actually began two years prior to leaving the workaday world. Understanding and identifying the right car to satisfy the need was daunting and filled with emotional pitfalls. But, we persevered.

The final decision: a classic open air hot rod located in North Carolina. No fenders; no heater; no A/C; no side windows. Just a cruising beast with a nasty stance.

When the car arrived in Fort Wayne, my girlfriend immediately nicknamed it “Cutie Pie.” Nasty and cute in the same breath—go figure.

Well, the nickname stuck and after more than ten enjoyable years “Cutie Pie” still gets that friendly wave or horn acknowledgement from oncoming traffic. I personally think it’s because she looks nasty.”

“Cutie Pie” definitely has an attitude...and we can’t wait to see both of you at Rolling Into Roanoke on September 19, Rob!
