Car restoring more than a hobby for Meadow Lake resident
A love for cars, cruising and a motivation to recreate the moments of a first date are what led Meadow Lake Cruisers President Bill Krasicki to join the club 16 years ago.
Krasicki owns a completely restored 1956 mercury two-door hard top and said he restored it because of a childhood envy.
“But also I dated my wife in one of those. The first date we ever had was in of them so I thought one day I’m going to restore one so we could date again,” he said.
Krasicki’s wish came true in 1999 when he was able to buy the vehicle as a shell from a junk-yard and after nearly 10 years of work, he’s been able to cruise around with it for the last six years.
