Efren Ojeda loves to spend time with his family, but he also loves kickin' it with his '61 Chevy Impala convertible, "Minty Fresh." Top back with the sun shining is what Efren loves to do when he's not working for BP as a machinist in Long Beach, California. Efren was an early member of Rollerz Only C.C., but after getting married and having his first child, he decided to leave the car scene alone for awhile.
But just like the love you have for that first girlfriend that never quite leaves, Efren found his way back to Rollerz and makes it to shows as much as possible. The feeling of being part of the family again is a great one for Efren. He'd like to thank club president Carlos, his brother Frank and his dad, along with Rollerz CEO Troy for their help.
Efren's '61 is plenty fresh as is, but he plans to install airbags ("maybe") and chrome the undercarriage. Either way, this '61 ragtop is one of the L.A. chapter's cleaner cars.
