SHEA WEIDLER’S 1972 BMW BAVARIA.

"Before I could even walk," Shea tells me, "I had this little highchair on wheels that my pops would sit me in so that I could roll around the garage while he worked on restoring a 1972 Chevy C20." Where some infants find solace in latching their tiny hands around rattles and bottles, Shea's were clutched to the shank of a wrench, covered in grease and grime. It was evident from the get-go to the Weidlers that their son wasn't going to stray far from his old man's passions. "That man has owned so many cars I seriously have lost track," he says. There is one car, however, that stands out amongst the countless cars that have made their way in and out of the Weidler garage. "He owned a BMW e21 for quite some time at one point growing up. I believe that one was what really caused me to fall in love with German cars."
