Jon R. Ford of Laporte, Indiana. Jon's first car was a 1937 Ford convertible that he got in 1957, when he was 13 years old. He built it into a hot rod that he drove everywhere without a plate. His grandfather was the Mayor of the town, so they let him alone.[1]


In 2014 Jon was running Sh-Boom Rod Shop in Sarasota, Florida. Back then he had owned over 230 cars from customs and street rods to exotics. "All as drivers," he told Sondre Kvipt of Kustomrama.
