Car guy and comedian Tim Allen was born on this day in 1953. Allen starred in the television series Home Improvement in which he fathered three boys while hosting Tool Time, a fictional home improvement TV show. His true to life interest in hot rods became a primary component of the show over the run of the series. In fact, he actually built hot rods on set during filming of the show! Check out this YouTube video to see some of his personal collection!
