Ryan Polson’s first word was car. Not Mama or Dada. Car. It seems that Ryan’s trajectory was set from the beginning. It also might have had something to do with his dad’s 1939 Ford Street rod that Ryan rode shotgun to car shows and the like. As Ryan grew up, he saved his pennies, and for his first car, he got himself a 1963 VW Beetle, which was his daily driver through high school. It was an original paint car with a 1200cc motor.
