“Beauty in Motion”
By Maria Erickson-Staff writer

August-20-Feature-CarThis 1960 Chevy Impala convertible owned by Ross Nord of Big Lake is truly a work of art and love.  He bought the car 4 years ago from a customer of his.  Ross, knowing when a great opportunity presents itself to him, actually sold his Harley motorcycle for it.  The black/white combo is pristine.  The seats are black/white checkered and I am telling you did it bring back memories for me!  Ross has owned many classics prior to this one (presently working on a 67 firebird), but he still remembers fondly the 1967 Camaro convertible as his favorite only because it was the very first car he ever owned.  The car was a frame off restoration and was repainted by Ed’s Collision in Maple Grove, and if I do say so myself, it looks like shiny hot tar was poured over the car…….perfection.  Not one mistake.  Rarely, do I see black redone on a vehicle without some type of error.  Not on this black beauty.  When I asked Ross what he paid for the car?  He laughed out loud and just said, “TOO MUCH”……Ok Ross, I will just leave it at that, but whatever you paid for it.  This car is truly magnificent.  If you get a chance to get over to the pavilion, take a look.  I can guarantee it will bring back memories for you as well!  Congrats Ross for being chosen as Anoka’s feature car of the week!
