- I formerly used the user name "Bill Mitchell," my favourite car designer, but my real name is Vince. I am from Ontario, Canada and own a couple of old cars with a lot of family history. I have a 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport fastback that was purchased new by my dad and a 1976 Chevrolet Malibu Classic that was purchased by my dad during my teenage years. My interests focus on American automobiles and engines from the 1950s to the 1980s. Along with reading and writing on automotive history, I also enjoy automobile maintenance and restoration.
