Just saw this old post about Jim Hollingsworth being in poor health.
I had the pleasure of meeting him in Des Moines in 2008 and again in Branson MO in 2009. He was so kind and friendly in welcoming me into PAC. And very encouraging about my 1941 Clipper. In Branson I had the privilege of being on a Judging Team that examined Jim's black 41 Clipper.
When I complained about the steering on my 41, he handed me his keys and said, "Here, drive mine and see how good a Clipper can drive. WOW! It took me (with help from my brother, Ray) to get my 41 Clipper to drive that nice. Here is a string of photos from Branson of our two 41 Clippers side-by-side with details of Jim's upholstery work.

Here is a great 2008 Hemmings article on Jim:
