Is the underlying car based on a Custom 8 or a Super Eight Deluxe? Clearly it's 23rd series but standard shift and the trunk lid trim (as best I can see it) says it's based on a Super Eight Deluxe, not a Custom 8 convertible.
I'd love to see the patent plate and Briggs body number!
I have the body number and serial plate info from many years ago buried in my records. I'm certainly familiar with this vehicle.
I will say one thing. While the fellow holding this car on that fork lift grins, the drive shaft is likely being bent. This is what usually happens to old cars lifted this way. Often the damage may not even be obvious... but it usually shows up under driving if not in visible bends or dents.
Of course as one can see, the logo is cast metal and this is certainly not a home-built backyard thingie. Known of it for decades. Good to see it is going to a good home where it will be loved.
