Larry Sawchuk was born in 1950 and raised in what is now Mississauga, Ontario. He was one of 5 children in a busy household along with brothers Ray, Dave, Russell and sister Gayle. Things were chaotic at times but young Larry, under the influence of big brother Dave, grew up building model cars and dreaming about real ones. The model car building may have ignited his love of all things automotive, but he remembers what fed the fire for street rodding. He distinctly recalls his first ride in a real street rod with Ron “Mouse” Staughton and his primered Model A roadster when he was just 13 years old. To make it a perfect night they even got pulled over by the local constabulary for “no fenders”.
