The gray car that won Best Of Show a few years ago carried the same yellow and red when it was restored in the late 1970, it came in with those colors. Are the two exact twins or very similar? If the yellow one lived on Long Island the underside of the trunk or top lid are engine turned. Great to see all the photos.

While not confirmed, it is likely a car sold from his grandfather's dealership. It's a great car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I saw it in Del's Body Shop back in the 1970s, Ferrari 002 and 004 were there as well side by side. Photos are etched in my memory, I didn't have a camera at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinmass Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It’s Holterbosch’s car……..he had it for 55 years. Remarkably intact and untouched till after he sold it. The new restoration used original paint on the chassis and scraps of original upholstery to get the colors right. It’s now back to its as new delivered condition. I think it looks much better than it did in silver. I much prefer it over any 500 or 540 K cars that are here this week. Walking into the RM showroom was fairly astounding when one looks at all the heavy iron. It’s probably the most heavily loaded auction in 30 years for big pre war cars. Not anywhere near as much important American cars around. It’s clearly much busier here than in the past ten years. More people, more super cars and old cars driving around than in the past. Early on I thought the cars with the stars would fall flat and ruin the market…….it seems there may be enough people here to absorb all the stuff……..tonight we will find out. Watch the RM live stream starting around 5 west coast time………..the pace should be slow if they work each car as a typical big boy toy, but possibly they will move it along quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Great photos of great cars thanks A.J. !!! but some of the color choices are from the disco era , sha boom sha boom in your face. There must have been a discount sale on red paint over the past few months when final color coats were being applied. What was the old adage "resale red" ! I love the airplane in the blue with elaborate paint flow. OUTSTANDING . A creation that one has to stand back with no obstructions to really get the whole affect of . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We talked to the guys with the seaplane. That was pretty cool. They had a bunch of Mayer Manx dune buggies around the plane, and a tail fin of a plane had Meyers Manx on it. You could’ve climbed up the ladder and taking a tour, which I should’ve done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC38dls Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I think that plane may be what is referred to as a DUCK. Jimmy Buffet has one he crashed and credits taking a US Navy survival crash course for saving his live. He restored it and it’s now on display at one of his bars. I will say blue is not a great color for a sea plane if it has to land in the ocean because of an engine failure. dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
