Brandon Hegedus’ hand-built 1962 Ferrari 156 tribute car
Brandon Hegedus’ has hand-built a tribute to the 1962 Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” race car in his Airdrie garage in the last five years.
With no original Ferrari 156s in existence, and little details to work with Hegedus focused in on photographs and crumbs of information he could find about Ferrari 156 chassis number three, driven by Ricardo Rodriguez in April 1962.
Despite having five other builds under his belt prior to taking on the Ferrari-inspired creation, the 37-year-old carpenter-by-trade stretched his skills on this ride.
This car is a buffet of details. We’ll give some insights about a few of them, and you’ll have to flag Hegedus down at a car show to learn more.
Learn more about the car in our Summer 2019 article here (https://airdrielife.com/citylife/dream-ride-one-mans-hobby-revs-up/), and follow Hegedus’ adventure on Instagram at @howisthatstreetlegal (https://www.instagram.com/howisthatstreetlegal/?hl=en). Despite his handle, this build is not street legal, but he does permit it and haul it to shows, and hopes to test it out on a track.

The message from these health care professionals is one of hope and resiliency, as well as being kind to one another as we head into what is hopefully the final months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jake Neighbours - Airdrie's newest NHL draftee
Jake Neighbours is Airdrie’s newest NHL draftee.
When Neighbours was selected 26th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2020 NHL Draft on October 6, he and the other draftees did so in the comfort of their own homes.
Yes, COVID-19 has thrown off a lot of best-laid plans, including the NHL Draft, which was cancelled in Montreal in June and made into a global live stream in the fall. That meant Neighbours was home on the couch surrounded by family in Airdrie when his name was called by Blues’ GM Doug Armstrong.
This is the airdrielife podcast, hosted by Britton Ledingham. Here we take you beyond the pages of airdrielife magazine.
Our goal is to share stories with locals in and around Airdrie about extraordinary people who call this city home. My journalist colleagues and I meet all kinds of fun, interesting people we get to write about. This podcast is an exclusive opportunity where you can learn more about your fantastic neighbours.
Watch for what happens in Neighbours’ career next by following him on social media. You can even set up a Google alert for his name and hopefully see him playing in the Saddledome for the Oil Kings, and even the Blues, someday soon.
Our intro music was produced by Willy Snypes. You can check him out at willysnypes.com.
