Kenny's Tudor

KENNY LIKINS' 62 TUDOR SEDAN
Story and Photo by Kenny Likins, 4/05

It's a `62 tudor sedan (you can probably get most of that from the photo...) with a `68 200 i6 and a green dot C4. I purchased the car in April 1999 and got the new paint in January of 2000.

I was living in Santa Rosa for two years and was so glad to discover SCFF. I currently live in Seattle but continue to renew my annual membership. I enjoy getting the monthly newsletters and supporting the club even though I can't participate in the meetings or local activities. I've had a great time at the last two regionals in 2001 (Santa Rosa) and 2002 (Bakersfield) and managed to get 2nd place at both for my daily driver. This photo is from the Regionals in Bakersfield. I look forward to coming down for the 2005 Nationals and seeing all of the great SCFF people again.

I met my wife Jessica in Seattle and give all (or at least most) of the credit of meeting her to my Falcon. I had pulled into a burger joint to grab a quick lunch while I sat in the car and Jessica pulled up in her truck and stopped in the middle of the driveway right behind me. She got out, ran (or hopped...she was in a leg cast at the time from a twisted ankle) and started telling me about her garage sale she was having and all of the "cool, vintage, kitschy stuff" she was selling. It was just a few blocks away so I decided to stop by and see what she had.

I ended up buying a nice, leather cover transistor radio and as I was about to go, I finally noticed a wrecked `62 fordor deluxe sitting in the nearby driveway. I went back to ask about it and found out it was hers and she had wrecked it and sold it to someone who wanted the drive train and sold the rest to get crushed. I gave Jessica my address card and told her I was interested in pulling off some other parts before it got towed away.

We got in touch later and I removed the deluxe trim (later sold it on eBay) and also got the window washer bag and bracket that I now have installed on mine as well as a few other things. We got to know each other, fell in love and got married a year later after moving down to Santa Rosa. We enjoy cruising in the Falcon and it will always be a part of our family.
