I remember the Hot Wheels of it I had. Are those first gen Mustang tail light bezels on the side for what I think may be exhaust vents??? Andy
Was thinking about all the secret names, secret projects and smuggled-drawing stories around Harry Bradley... Boldness without chaos.
I think Harry Bradley was the Bill Mitchell of the kustom world. I too love La Jolla, everything except the grille. I saw the Deora when it was new at Cobo with my dear ol Dad. I was 7. Still remember how wild the front door was and Dad telling me how they get in. Koolsville...
Yes! Alexander Bros Geniusness. I see a floating hinged steering column?? and floating hinged whole-front-of-truck! Ummm How?
While looking for something else, I ran across this site. http://www.americantorque.com/page/0/3839/ I know the Deora is already OT, but look at this pic from 1973.
I tore this place apart because I was sure that I had one of those Chrysler Deora concept car brochures. Then it dawned on me that I gave it to Ralph when he owned the Deora. The pics that I posted earlier I found on the internet. I went on eBay and bought another one
Don't ya hate it? At least that hole in the file is refilled. I'd will all my interesting old publications to you, but you probably have (or don't want) 99.9% of it!
Great story. Many memories. I still have my original hot wheel of it. Missing the surfboards of course.
Herb Gary from NY (FANTASTIC customizer)did all the body work on that car, he and Harry were good friends
