OLDS 442
Interview
Car owner: Doug Hauser
Car: 1968 Olds 442 convertible
Model: Megan Julian
This photoshoot was done at Wyandotte County Lake in Kansas.
We really enjoy doing photoshoots at this location because of all of the beautiful places
that we are able to capture such amazing photos. Sometimes it is a true task because
of the shadows and the lighting, but that challenge always seems to work for the cars
that we shoot. Doug Hauser is the owner of this badass 1968 Olds 442 convertible. Doug
purchased this awesome ride back in 2007. He bought this car sight unseen and had
it shipped to KC out of New Hampshire. The Olds 442 is a Washington State car, hench
no rust. This Olds 442 is a second owner car and has 106,000 original miles on it. When
Doug first drove the Olds 442 he ended up blowing up the engine on HWY I435. Doug was
very upset that this had happened. He decided to store the Olds 442 in his warehouse,
which ended up being there for about 6 years. After the Olds 442 was stored for that 6
years in his warehouse, Doug stated when the engine blew up that chuncks of piston
metal scored the engine block, requiring it to be bored, sleeved and fitted with original
pistons. This type of pistons are very hard to find but Doug found some that were a year
old and bought them for the engine rebuild. The engine has approximately 500 miles on
the motor since the rebuild. The color of this badass Olds 442 is called, Plum Iris Metallic,
it is a 1967 color but with more Purple. Doug has this Olds 442 convertable for sale
through his business - KCClassicCars.us. This 1968 model stayed in production until
1972. This era was the Pinnacle of the muscle car movement, which mated high performance
to compact lighter cars. Pontiac was the first company of the GM to offer fullsize
muscle cars in it’s mid-size Cutlass model.

72-CHEVELLE-SS
Interview
Car owner: Adam Dalsing
Car: 1972 Chevelle SS
Model: Bia Vonroe
This photoshoot was done at Shawnee Mission Park in Shawnee Mission Kansas at
the same time that we did the photoshoot of Adam’s Camaro. The photos speak for
themselves. Both cars were captured beautifully with the backdrop that we chose to
use. Both cars are very exceptional cars! Adam takes a lot of pride in his cars that he
owns. The story of Adam purchasing this exceptional Chevelle expands over a period
of 10 years. He first was introduced to this Chevelle by one of his friends that had purchased
it about 13 years ago. That friend was the third owner of this Chevelle. Over
that 10 year time Adam would do some mechanical work for his friend on the Chevelle,
pertaining to the paint correction and brakes. One of the days that Adam was on the
phone with his friend in conversation his friend was saying that he would love to own a
C2 Corvette. So during the discussion of this, they both agreed that it would be nice if
Adam bought the Chevelle from him and he would buy his Corvette that he has been
wanting. His good friend ended up buying a 1967 C2 Corvette. Adam had enjoyed
working on this Chevelle over the years, and let’s face it he knew anything and everything
that the Chevelle would need to have done to it, if anything at all! Adam ended up
buying the Chevelle about 3 years ago. He has been showing the Chevelle since he purchased
it from his friend. His whole family truly enjoys driving the Chevelle, even
if it is just a little cruise around the town they live in. The furthest that he has drove it
was to the Ottawa River Run car show in Ottawa Kansas. This 1972 Chevelle SS has its
original interior and the beautiful Tuxedo Black paint job. Adam ended up wet sanding
the car to remove any orange peel and then polished it. That brought back the beautiful
paint job.

RED DEVIL
Interview
Car Owner: Scott Galligani
Car: 1973 Mustang Mach1
Model: Seleste
Once again we decided to do this photoshoot at the Crossroads of Kansas City.
There are so many different works of art in that area of the City. We thought the location
where we did the shoot was the perfect backdrop for this beautiful and classic car!
The Mach1 Mustang honestly is one beast of a ride. Scott Galligani bought this beautiful
Mustang back in 2000. One of his good friends told him about this certain car being for
sale at one of his neighbors. When Scott decided to go check out the Mustang, he was in
high hopes that it would be the car that he wanted to buy. They arrived at his friends
neighbors house and saw the Mustang and he knew this was the car that he had to
have. Since the loss of his second wife in 2000 of breast cancer he wanted to do something
to bring his family back together. Scott has always wanted to have an older car to
take to the car shows that he and his family so enjoy going to. The Mach1 Mustang was
mostly restored when Scott purchased it. Everything on the car is all original. He
was so excited to be able to go to the car shows and take his family with him for the
family time. His oldest daughter Sami would go with him and help her dad with the
cleaning and detailing of the Mach1 for the car shows. His younger daughter Tori has
followed in her sister’s footsteps and both of them have some great memories of time
spent with their dad and the Mustang. Scott hopes the tradition of family time and the
love of classis cars will also be passed down to his four grandchildren. Scott has been
showing this car since 2000 when he bought it. The Mach1 Mustang has won Best of
show 71-73. Has also won several 1st and 2nd place trophies, also a show winner of
Mustang of America 71 - 73 twice. Scott feels that a show car should be well maintained
and kept clean. You can definitely see the love that he has for this 1973 Mach1 Mustang!
The first Mach1 show car was introduced in late 1966. The purpose was to see the reaction
of the public to the race car like features. The car was called the “Mach1” because
of still being in the cold war era. The Mach 1 Mustangs produced from 1971 to 1973 would
cost at an average for the base model would be approximately $3,200. In 1973 Ford
made 35,439 Mach 1 Mustang and no convertibles were produced. The first
generation of the Mach 1 Mustang was 1969-1970, second generation
1971-1973, third generation 1974-1978 and fourth generation 2003-2004.

72-CAMARO-SS
Interview
Car owner: Adam Dalsing
Car: 1972 Camaro SS
Model: Bia Vonroe
We decided to do this photoshoot at Shawnee Mission Park in Shawnee Mission Kansas.
This beautiful park has many amenities for the public to enjoy. These amenities
include, swimming, boating, kayaking and nature trails amongst many other activities.
This photoshoot was done at the boat dock of the park. We worked very hard to capture
the beauty and classic look of the car that we do a photoshoot with at any location
we go to. Adam Dalsing is the proud owner of this beautiful 1972 Camaro SS. He was
interested in purchasing another car to take to the car shows. His brother found this
Camaro on Ebay in 2002. The car was in Hollywood California, was good distance away
but when Adam saw it online he was definitely interested in buying it. Adam responded
to the add for the car and had interaction with the broker that was in charge of the Camaro.
The original owner of this Camaro bought it brand new in 1972 as a second car.
The Camaro had 40,000 original miles on it when Adam bought it. Adam made a deal
on the Camaro through the broker and bought the car and then started doing research
on the difference of going and driving it back or having it transported to him. Adam said
there was only a $200 difference between the two, so he decided to have it transported.
During the transporting of this Camaro, Adam was in contact with the driver throughout
the journey. Adam soon realized that the car was coming from California where the
weather of course is totally different from Kansas, so he contacted the driver since it was
one of the coldest days of winter in Kansas. Adam asked the driver if where he was at
was below freezing and he responded no, then Adam told him that it was below freezing
in Kansas and if there was a way he could stop and check to see if there was just water
in the radiator. The driver did and called him back to let him know there was just water.
So when the driver got closer to Kansas he started the car and let it run at an idle until
it reached its destination so the engine wouldn’t freeze up. Adam was very excited to
find a car that wasn’t all torn up or rusted out. He noticed the paint wasn’t in the best
of shape but the interior was all original and in great shape. The Camaro had it’s usual
dents and dings but Adam stripped it down to the metal and did any body work needed
and painted it. Adam drove this beautiful Camaro for a few years before he decided to
have a different motor built and installed the motor himself.

1972 Camaro
SS is riding on
225/50/17 on the

1972 was the last
year of the Camaro
that they offered
a big block from
the factory.
The engine in the

SLAYER
Interview
Car owner: Kenny Hendrickson
Car: 2014 Camaro 2SS/RS
Car name: Slayer
We decided to do this photoshoot at Wyandotte Park in Kansas by the Legends Outlet
Mall. The photographer Elton came across this original 5th generation Camaro at a
local car show. As you see in the photos the distinct muscle car look of this Camaro was
definitely captured.
Kenny Hendrickson has always been a big fan of Camaro’s. He likes all generations
of the Camaro, but the newer body style really got his attention when they came out.
Kenny decided that he wanted to save up the money to purchase the new generation
Camaro. When he finally got the amount up he wanted to save to buy one, he started
shopping and checking out the Camaro’s. He finally came across this gorgeous black
one at the dealership and fell in love, he bought it brand new in 2014. Once he purchased
this Camaro he started doing the modifications to it that he had in mind to do.
This took a few months to get done but as you see they have paid off. Kenny devotes his
free time to do charity events and car shows for charity as well. He also enjoys cruises
and meet and greets. Kenny has been showing his Camaro since 2015. The furthest
that Kenny has traveled with his Camaro has been to Kentucky. Kenny really enjoys
driving his 2014 Camaro called Slayer! This Camaro is his daily driver. Kenny is a
member of the DFW Camaro Car Club in Dallas /Fort Worth Texas. These members
are very active when it comes to charity and being involved in the community. Laps for
Charity at Texas Motor Speedway, Toys for Tots and many others. Kenny also likes to
drag race at the Northstar Dragway in Denton, Texas and corse racing at Cresson Motorsport
Ranch in Cresson, Texas. History of the Camaro- GM produced the Chevy Camaro
as a rush job in 1969 to meet the challenge presented by the ludicrously success
of the Ford Mustang. It started in 1969 with the SS and the Z28. The 1970 model was
available until the Berlinetta came out in 1992 along with the IROC-Z three years later
and followed by special editions. Then in 1987 there was the 20th Anniversary edition
released and in 1992 a 25th Anniversary edition with a heritage package. In 1993
a Z28 edition came out with a 5.7Ltr V8 with a 6-speed manual gear box. This edition
went on until 2002. After that the Camaro rolled out the fifth generation in 2010 and
which a year later went on to win The World Car of the Year award. The current body
style of the Camaro has been out since 2010 with various different packages available.
