Victor Collins
Victor "Vic" Collins of Linden, New Jersey. 14 years old, Vic began working with his grandfather at a junk yard. He bought his first car, a 1950 Ford coupe from behind a gas station. Shortly after he met a man who collected 1949 - 1951 Fords. He told Vic that he had a car he probably would be interested in. It was a 1950 Ford, an early custom, with 1955 Buick rear quarters, 1955 Chevrolet headlights, a 1956 Ford Thunderbird scoop in the hood, custom side trim, and a 324 cid Oldsmobile engine. Vic bought it, and paid $150.00 for the old custom. That was Vic's first custom, and he held onto it for two years.[1]
