Lloyd, the little I know about the V8 Derham formal (don't know if its a 55 or 56) I stated in the opening post of this thread. There is no doubt it was built and still existed some years back, whether it still exists is unknown. We don't even know if it was a factory-sponsored car or just an individual owner who wanted something different though I'd suspect the latter.

I believe Derham's records exist at the Gilmore Museum or some other such repository, maybe AACA or CCCA. Perhaps someone would be willing to locate the archives and see what they can find out, I think we'd all be very interested. Derham was quite consistent in photo-documenting their cars so we'd stand a good chance of at least seeing a picture or two.
