He is cleaning the car up now. He reports that the construction details are very nicely done - this was no schlock conversion. Posted on: 2018/2/19 17:49

It is a '48. He also sends his apologies for the mistake. I'm trying to upload the photo but it isn't working. The correct VIN is 2279-9182. Posted on: 2018/2/19 19:10

We know it was in an auction in Houston about 20+ years ago, photo I got from new member Tim Stuart, post 114 of this thread. It was in the northwest part of the county recently, and now in Florida!
