Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Flathead V 8, Offenhauser heads, dual carb intake, Ford chassis, Cadillac steering wheel, hardtop. Fiberglas body on 40s Ford chassis and running gear. Restored to better than new, displayed at Amelia Island, now showing some age. An interesting piece with no history.

Market commentary

A kit car with no history aside from an invitation to Amelia Island but an intriguing example of a Fifties American approach to the sports car concept. That, and the quality of its presentation, should make it worth more than the bid it attracted here.
