Destined for Nostalgia after living a really cool childhood with really cool parents.

In 1971 at age 7, I attended the Street Rod Nationals in Memphis Tennessee with my parents Charles and Jackie Duran. We visited Graceland and was invited onto the grounds, by security guards, due to the fact Elvis loved Hot Rods. In 1978 I rode in the rumble seat of a chopped top 34 Dodge Hi-Boy to the Columbus, Ohio SR Nationals. If you ever see those photos, the afro was computer super imposed, at least this is what I tell my kids. I was given a 38 chopped top Chevy coupe at age 12 by a restorer Houston Shelton, after he removed the mint front sheet metal for one of his projects. He didn't want his friends to see a chopped car in his drive-way.  

In the early 70's there was a new concept for shopping, indoor malls. The grand opening door prize at The Forum Mall in Arlington was a restored Wurlitzer 1015 bubbler jukebox (valued at $500.). I begged my parents daily to sign us up for the drawing, one family per day only could register. We went the day of the drawing. Due to the fact that Mom always said to think positive, I just knew we would win the Wurlitzer. Mom reminded me recently of this story on Mothers Day and said "See I told you to think positive, you just weren't ready for a Wurlitzer at age 8." Mom is always right and Nostalgia Warehouse, LLC is now one of the largest Wurlitzer Distributors in the world.  

Hope you enjoy and we look forward to earning your business.

Dads 35 Ford Convertible

 In 1973 this retro-rod was found in a Grand Prairie garage finely preserved. Moms in the passenger seat with Tim and I in the rumble seat. Wish we still had this one. 




In 1959, after the Cookie roadster, Dad (Charles) built this Dodge T-bucket with a Corvette 327 & a 6 pack.

This  was true cutting edge cool. Some day my son Daris and I would like to reproduce this for a modern day Rat Rod. Do you have a Dodge body for sale?

Autograph session with Candy Clark "Debbie" myself & Bo Hopkins "Joe" leader of The Pharoahs at KKOA custom car show in Denison Texas.  These folks were stars in American Graffiti. At age 7 this movie was my inspiration that led to Nostalgia Warehouse.  Candy, I forgot to tell you I have owned (3) 58 Chevy Impala's one even had tuck n roll. We have autographs at Grapevine Mills available.
