The Spring 2025 issue of Hot Rod Magazine has published a 10 page spread on Rob Ida and Ida Automotive with a shout outs to Howard Kroplick, Tucker #1044 and the Holman Moody Challenger III. Congrats Rob!

"Working alongside Mike and Sean Tucker and the Tucker family, Rob helped restore Howard Kroplick's 1948 Tucker, now known as the highest-quality and most correct Tucker restoration in existence. It won major awards at Amelia Island, Greenwich and Pebble Beach."

 

"He also found time to restore Kroplick's Holman-Moody Challenger III Ford Falcon, a one-off build that offers an interesting take on the early Falcon design, chopped and sectioned into a sleek road racer."
