1937hd45 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Jerry,Nice to know a show car from the '50's survived and you're looking to research its history. That car does remind me of one I've seen in one of the many "little" magazines from the '50's & '60's. I'll go through my collection of them and see what I might be able to help you with. Have you started to collect car show programs from that era? They usually had some build info on all the cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Randy Berger Posted July 24, 2003 Share Posted July 24, 2003 The car must still be in the Pgh. area because it was in the World of Wheels show about two, maybe three years ago, at the David Lawrence convention center. This event always held in February. Doesn't look like any upgrades have been made - same paint.YFAM, Randy Berger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
