Hi fbi9c1. I have no problem on alternative theories on the demise of entrepreneurial enterprises. Having been in business for many years myself, from first hand experience, most creditors rarely prosper from the squeezing to death of any business. Most times, they only get a few cents in the dollar of what they are owed.
I accept the proffered issue caused by the City of Santa Monica.
I'm guilty of reposting information provided by others on the internet - some people know more history, some don't post because they're spending all their time researching whether the facts are correct. I just prefer to post up old pics, and if possible a few words about the pic.
Guilty.
Cheers.

 

Ron, I especially like the front tires sans tread, and the mis-matched rears - intended for stagger???

 

Sure would like to hear the story on the twin blower hemi, any more photos, source?

 

I remember building this Studebaker model with dual blowers....

 

There were a handful of these twin blower deals, IIRC my first recollection seeing one was in a car rag in the late 60's, one of those "over the top" T- buckets, not sure what engine but I think it had ? Crower 4 port injector hats, pretty wild looking to this aspiring hot rodder.
I'm pretty sure those intake manifolds were one-off's, don't recall ever seeing any commercially mfg. ones.

 

Before it was labeled "The Pearl District"...

 

Now THAT'S a camper!!
