John Bozio's 1953 Buick Roadmaster of East Hartford, Connecticut was originally restyled between 1956 and 1957. Red bought the old custom in the late 1970s. At that time, the car hadn't been on the road since 1960. Red restored the car, and got it back on the road again in 1978.

Barry Atkins' 1955 Chevrolet of Columbia, Connecticut. The car was supposedly restyled in 1958, but the original owner and builder are unknown. Barry bought the old custom from Red McCormick in the early 1980s. He restored and restyled it further before he sold it in 1984.

Red McCormick's 1950 Cadillac Roadster. The design of the car was inspired by the 1953 Cadillac LeMans concept car, and according to later owner Charles Marshall it was supposedly built in New Jersey in the 1960s. Joe sold the car circa 1985 - 1987.

Bob "Red" McCormick of East Hartford, Connecticut.

In the 1970s or 1980s Red bought a 1955 Chevrolet that originally had been restyled in 1958. He sold the car to buy two Cadillac Eldorado's that he chopped the tops on. After chopping the Cadillac's, Red and his wife Maggie drove them for a few years, before Red sold them both, along with John Bozio's 1953 Buick Roadmaster to buy Burt Hamrol's 1950 Ford Club Coupe, another old custom car.

Red had a louver press, and he did hundreds of hoods, trunk lids, and everything else he could.

Bob had a Cadillac hearse with mag wheels and flame paint job that he drove around in.
