Usually MotorWeek’s “Your Drive” experts stop by our garage to drop their know-how and advice. But this week, we’re taking our keep-it-running needs on the road. Destination? Giuseppe’s garage!

GIUSEPPE IATOROLA: Welcome to Giuseppe’s garage. This is where I grew up and learned all my skills, and today I’m going to show you some of our latest projects.

This right here is the number one gangster car of all time. The 1941 Lincoln Continental from the movie “The Godfather.” This car, our plans are to restore the whole body… this way it looks like how it looked like after they shot the scene in the movie. We want to keep all the bullet holes and all the broken glass. We’re going to bring it to some car shows and have some fun with it.

We’ve been searching for this car for a very long time. This one day, I was doing research and it finally came up. It was in a warehouse in Ohio. And where we got it, it was in Minnesota. Now it’s part of Giuseppe’s family.

This is the custom wrecker truck. Before we customized it, my father was going to junk yards to go get parts and all that, and believe it or not, it’s got 310,000 miles on this truck. It’s got grey market Mercedes headlights, it’s got an upside-down 1960 Cadillac grille, Mercedes bumpers, it’s got ’58 to 1960 Imperial door handles, it’s got exhaust stacks, handmade bed, it’s got 1954 or so Ford fenders that we just shrunk every which way, it’s got a hand-fabricated wrecker, it’s got 37 Chevy taillights, and, for the interior, it’s just completely shagged. The bodywork, the prep and the paint design, I did myself.

This 1941 67 Series Cadillac Limousine has been in the family for 20 years and it was used in my parents’ wedding. It’s a low volume production car and it was in pretty good shape when they got it. It just needed some chrome and paint work done. These days, she spends most of her time in the garage, but we make sure we go out for a family cruise every once in a while.

This 1951 Chevy Two-Door Hardtop is another work in progress. It’s set up as a gasser for the drag strip with a 350 small-block and an Oldsmobile 9-inch rear axle. I fabricated a hood scoop and a roll cage for it, and all the body work is finished with lead. We put a 1955 Olds headlights and Pontiac GTO seats in it, but we’re still searching for some custom 1953 Pontiac Station Wagon taillights.

This is a 1964-1/2 Plymouth Barracuda. It spent its whole time as a drag car. They bought it new and raced it. It ran 10.8 down the quarter-mile strip, and the engine we built for it is a 340 cubic inch with dual carburetors – 390 cfm. It’s got 578 lift on the cam, full roller of the valvetrain, and it’s got fender well headers.

I hope you liked the garage tour. If you have any questions or comments, reach out to us, here at MotorWeek.
