Never one to shrink away from hard work, Frank Kallam has spent a lifetime building up his business to get to a point where he can enjoy some of the finer things life has to offer. For him, that happens to include working on the type of car he's always liked: hot rods.
Though he's owned many over the years (his first, a '39 Ford, was in 1962), his collection of vehicles in the past decade has revolved around more than a handful of GM products, chiefly Chevys and Buicks. He says he likes the fact that they're unusual to the industry, even though they're a task to build (not a lot of aftermarket parts for mid-'30s Buicks). Having never really gotten into the Pontiacs or Oldsmobiles, Kallam, who lives in Greensboro, North Carolina, has owned everything from a '40 Ford coupe to, more recently, a pair of Grand Nationals (including an '87 GNX).
A hot rodder to the end, Frank wouldn't mind finding a '67 Grand Sport GS400 to keep in his garage but, for now, he's happy with his assortment of vehicles, which includes a '33 Buick 50-Series sedan and a '54 Buick Special.
