"No i.d. on this one, but we're guessing it began as an Auburn speedster. Someone grafted on a 1939-1940 Cadillac grille and front fenders, then added Packard wire wheels. Not bad, actually." From Charley Beasley's car pictures. v
Veteran motor enthusiast and doting father in early '50s Penn-Yan runabout w/ Mercury outboard. Maybe Shafer Lake, maybe Ohio River.
