Almost all of us have that one special memorable experience with our show cars. For Shelbie Leintz out of Leavenworth, Kansas hers is cruising the highways and byways of America in her very cool 1963 ½ Ford Galaxie. Shelbie is no stranger to the automotive industry as she’s been involved her whole life thanks to her father James Wolk and her Uncle David Wolk. James and his brother David have been building custom cars and hot rods for decades, so now you can understand why Shelbie is no stranger to this hobby as she has been involved since day one. Shelbie’s previous ride was a cool 1949 GMC pickup truck which grazed the pages of LIA Magazine a few years ago. Shelbie and her husband Alex decided it was time to sell the truck and get something bigger than her ole pickup in case they decided to start a family. Her father James found the Galaxie in Tennessee back in 2019, which by the way was a pretty solid car.
