Dave: Do you recall who the coachbuilder was of the Hispano-Suiza phaeton in photo 16?

Steve - good call, you got me! Sorry about that. On quick glance I thought it was Andrade's Fleetwood but now remember that had polished aluminum hood panels. No, I don't recall who the coachbuilder was, Kellner would be a wild guess. If you're partial to Hispanos I'll look for some of them, there was an H6 convertible in this area for years, finally got restored and went to Pebble. Also during the Pontiac National PAC meet we visited Brian Joseph's shop and he had a pair of Hispano J12s!! and alas, I was w/o camera.

PS - any takers on identifying the radiator cap in picture #2 of post #29 (I know the answer)?
