The craft of pinstriping dates back centuries, when carriages of royalty were painted with fine lines of exquisite detail and design. Twelve-year-old Derek Moody lives at The Greasy Spoon, a struggling roadside mart and garage. Over three days he learns that the man he calls "Dad" is not his father, and he meets Kelly Williams, the cute niece of a big customer. When the two are later caught behaving as curious adolescents, the Moodys lose the Williams business and Derek loses his new best friend. Anxious to make amends, Derek begins pinstriping customers' cars with seasoned expertise, skill he attributes to Kelly and their last encounter. He leaves home at 18, well on his way to fortune and fame. At a hot rod show he meets Cecil Caldwell, a Matchbox car vendor, and his personal life appears equally successful.
