Kamran Khan, 75, a retired civil servant in Pakistan now living in Travilah, Md., on his 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, as told to A.J. Where I grew up, in Quetta, Pakistan, people loved American cars. This was the 1950s and early ’60s, and a lot of people didn’t even have a car. My family was very fortunate and we had a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air.

Tina L. Blankenship-Early, a street sweeper operator living in Los Angeles who is the first woman inducted into the National Lowrider Hall of Fame, on her 1966 “Game Killa” Chevrolet Caprice, as told to A.J. I started out doing car audio for my best friend’s dad on a 1966 Chevrolet Impala in his garage many years ago. Then, he let me work on other cars in his garage. I had always wanted a lowrider because I grew up around them in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. One day, my friend’s dad said, “You need to build a car.” He helped me find a 1965 Impala, and that’s how it all started.

Daphne Norris, 50, a UPS driver living in Bryceville, Fla., on her 1965 Ford Mustang convertible and 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R, as told to A.J. When my parents met, my father had a 1966 Mustang GT and my mother had a 1965 Mustang. Growing up, my dad used to tell me all the fun stories about stuff he had done with his Mustang. By this time he and my mom had sold the others and bought a 1965 Mustang convertible.

Tim Higgins, 67, a retired General Electric aircraft propulsion engineer living in Newburyport, Mass., on his 1970 Triumph GT6+, as told to A.J. Some of my earliest memories are in the lousy station wagons my father bought to transport our family of seven around. We were always breaking down at night on the Garden State Parkway or the Connecticut Turnpike. But when I got older, my dad started buying cool cars. I remember a 1975 Toyota Celica and a 1978 Datsun 280Z.

Emelia Hartford , a car builder and an actress currently appearing in the film “Gran Turismo,” who is based in the Los Angeles area, on her Cape Advanced Vehicles Ford GT40 replica, as told to A.J. I lost my dad when I was young, so I didn’t have that fatherly figure to help me figure out what to buy as my first car. I bought an Infiniti G35 with a manual transmission. I didn’t even know how to drive stick, so I pretty much roasted the clutch getting the car home.

Joji Barris-Paster, owner of Barris Kustom, who is based in Ventura County, Calif., on her Barris Kustom cars, as told to A.J. My father, George Barris, was known as the “King of the Kustomizers.” He started out in the 1950s, and was blessed to have all these ideas about how to build Kustom cars. (He always spelled it with a K.) For the last 16 years of his life, I worked with him. He was a lot to handle, but he always taught me one lesson. “I don’t want to hear the word can’t,” he would say.

Praveen Asthana , 58, a co-founder of Accelsius, a startup specializing in liquid cooling technology for data centers, who lives in Austin, Texas, on his 1979 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD Turbo Diesel, as told to A.J. My father was a teacher from India, and he moved to Africa when I was a year old. I grew up in Zambia, in a town called Mufulira. All the businessmen and politicians drove Mercedes-Benz cars, and most others drove more affordable cars like the mustard-yellow Toyota Corolla my father drove. Mercedes was the only fancy car you could buy.

I have profiled owners of special vehicles from around the country nearly every week for the past 10 years. The one question people always ask me is: What kind of car do you drive? They expect Porsches in my garage, but no. On the 10th anniversary of My Ride, I present my family’s humble Subaru Outback, which we call Dougie.
