Custom 1956 COE Hauler
To fall in love with a specific type of vehicle and then years later be able to call one your own is a special kind of automotive love story. For Suzy Stuchel of Earlham, Iowa, that’s exactly what happened at the 2016 Goodguys Colorado Nationals show. “I fell in love with a COE at the Des Moines Goodguys show in the 1990’s and I still look for it to this day.” You see, Suzy knew that a custom 1956 Ford COE 600 was in her future, as her and her husband, Mark, had picked up the shell of what would be their truck on their way home from the 2015 Colorado Nationals. But what Suzy didn’t know, was that a gentleman named Mark, Jimmy Poole of Jimmy’s Customs, and long-time friends, Chris and Sue Brindley had a surprise for her as the 2016 show rounded its second day. A Love of Trucks Suzy has been a car girl since her earliest memories. Growing up in a car-conscious family, she started learning about vehicles as a young child. “The first thing my dad ever taught me was to wear a seat belt at all times,” Suzy said of her early automotive lessons. “The second thing he taught me was not to touch, lean or put anything on a vehicle, even more so if it’s not yours.”

All In the Family: Randy Eckhardt's LS3-Powered 1955 Cameo Pickup
1st Place Full Custom Truck at Super Nationals in Albuquerque, January 2018
A one-family owned classic truck is a thing only a limited number of people can claim, but for those who can, the beloved vehicle means more to them than any other form of transportation. It’s an heirloom, a conversation piece and a catalyst for many memories. For Randy and Su Eckhardt, that’s exactly what their 1955 Chevrolet Cameo pickup truck is. But, just because it’s a cherished piece of history in their family, doesn’t mean it had to always stay the way the factory made it! A bit different from the truck his dad picked up at the dealership in 1955, Eckhardt’s recently rebuilt Cameo is bringing classic cool to the next generation! Restored and customized by Jimmy’s Customs in Wellington, Colorado, the Eckhardts’ Cameo started out life like any other vehicle – straight from the assembly plant to the showroom floor. What sets this truck apart is what happened next. As it turns out, it was Randy’s father who purchased the truck new in 1955, the first year for the truck’s updated body style and iconic red and white paint scheme, and it’s been in the family ever since. In fact, Randy still remembers the day his dad picked up the truck from that Denver dealership some 63 years ago! Loved and cared for by Randy’s dad until the early 1970s, Randy and Su took ownership of the truck in 1972. Over the years it’s gotten a lot of use, but it wasn’t until recently that it underwent a complete frame-off, rotisserie restoration with a bit of customization, to turn it into the show-worthy truck it is today.
