Neat old 32 Custom but Mr. St.James Davis should have hired someone to use that magic marker on his new paint.
That car belongs to Mr. St. James Davis a long time car guy in SoCal. A bunch of his buddies along with SoCal Speedshop redid the car for him following a terrible freak run in with a chimpanzee. Here are some pics and info from the unveiling at the SoCal Speed shop open house this past Father's Day: This was a restored hot rod they debuted at the open house. A group of guys restored it for a friend of theirs that was injured in a freak accident (not in the car). Sweet pipes! Taken from this post: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=377711&highlight=best+burger Here is another article about it: http://www.driveonline.com/columns-/wheels-in-motion-/123-wheels-in-motion
WOW!! There is a man that has been thru hell. I hope the car beings some peace back to his life. http://www.esquire.com/features/chimpanzee-attack-0409-4
Thanks for the info and links sad sad story.. I can only hope the car brings him some peace...... . . Keith
I may be wrong, but wasn't Carl Caspers the creator of that car ? Would have been late 60's to early/mid 70's . 41 Dave
I think you are pretty well correct. It was a well known show rod in that era. I'd have to go out in the milk house and dig in the archives to find one of the magazines or specials it was in then. <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">
That cars not my cup O tea, but he has keep it for fifty years and that alone make's it something spacial to me. Hell the only thing I've had that long is my old skin and it don't look that good.
