Make-A-Wish Teen Visits ACM

Craig Lehman is battling braincancer, but that doesn't stop himfrom following his passions. The18-year-old from Wichita, Kansasvisited Tacoma in July as part ofthe Make-A-Wish program. Craig has his own 1976 Camaro,and he's a self-identified Chrysler

guy. As part of his visit to ACM, Craig received a private tour of the entirecollection from volunteer Pat Crist. Craig got to take a closer look at anyACM-owned vehicle he wished, including sitting inside and peeking underthe hood. The whole family took a spin in the Speed Zone, racing on thesimulators and around the slot-car track. At the end of the tour, Craig'sfamily headed outside for a joyride around the Show Field in an Oldsmobile98 and Craig got a ride in ACM's 1939 GT39, a custom recently donated tothe Museum by Cindy Warn. Craig and family spent five days in the Pacific Northwest, including a visitto Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium to dive with the sharks, aglassblowing class at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio, and dinner at theSpace Needle. ACM was pleased to be part of this incredible experience,and wishes Craig all the best.

The car was completely re-signed with only 20% of the original 1939 Fordtin. To match the fine craftsmanship the car is powered by a 2006 Ford GTsupercharged engine and Ford 4R 4 Speed manual transmission. Ford GTengines are hand built, aluminum 5.4L (330 ci) V-8s. The Lysholmsupercharger with intercooler easily pumps out 550 hp at 6,500 rpm anddelivers peak torque at 500 lb-ft at 3,750 rpm. The car rides on airsuspension, allowing for custom and multiple pre-set ride heights forcruising, all out driving, or just resting. The removable hardtop allows thecar to still be enjoyed as a convertible.
