Hi JW & Gentlemen

"Sporty Formal Sedan" is an apt description, it's a wonderful design. It is of the design idiom Rollston used to create the the sport sedans for the Duesenberg JN, the best known of which is the Bill 'Bojangles" Robinson car.

With it's convertible type half-door construction, stainless window frames, and lower body essentially separate from the top, it's a convertible sedan with a stationary top. All these features contribute to a sterling design. This type, rare even during the Classic Era, is a personal favorite.

I was so delighted to see your car at the Centennial. I've loved that design since seeing the Rollston photo for the first time probably forty years ago.

You are a truly fortunate man to have such a car in your family.
