Charlie Cannon and his 1958 Nash Metropolitan:

Dunwoody resident Charlie Cannon, 76, bought his first Metropolitan in 1960.

But the compact car was not suited for family life, so he sold it.

“It just wasn’t big enough for a family of two kids,” he said.

But Cannon never lost his love for the cars, which were not produced after 1961.

About 20 years ago, Cannon had the chance to buy his 1958 Metropolitan.

After years of tinkering with it, the car is now his daily form of transportation.

And with the price of gas well over $2 per gallon it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Cannon said he gets about 40 miles to the gallon in his Metropolitan.

Richard Woroniecki and his 1976 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible:

Dunwoody resident Richard Woroniecki bought what he calls his dream car, a 1976 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible, six years ago.

“If you’re a car nut you are going to want a Rolls,” he said.

As a member of the Rolls Royce Owners Club, Woroniecki’s car has been featured in several shows and competitions.

You might even see him just driving it to the store.

“A lot of people have these cars and they are scared to drive them. But I take mine out,” he said.

And the car gets a lot of attention, he said.

“When I drive this convertible I have to plan extra time because people want to stop and talk about it.”

Greg Herman and his 1972 Ford Bronco:

Greg Herman, owner of Gann-El Automotive, has turned his 1972 Ford Bronco into a modern road monster.

Six years ago, the former ECW wrestler traded his pick-up truck for the Bronco, which had been left in major disrepair by its previous owner.

The vehicle now has automatic steering and braking systems and, with a 500-horsepower engine, runs like it is brand new.

But the car is not a collector’s item to Herman.

He said he uses the vehicle for transportation and sport, taking it off roading and mud bogging.

“My kids love it,” he said. “What’s the point if you can’t drive it?”
