    That's a very attractive vehicle; the two-tone scheme is interesting. I wonder what happened to the third one?

    Simple and elegant uncluttered lines. That's a thing of beauty.

    I'm betting Geoff Hacker could dig up that third one! Not a fan of the painted cove, looks better solid to me, but beautiful cars!!

    These are way way nicer than homebuilt sports customs usually seem to have been.

    ***ume Peterson still has them in the Vault. Again "Hot Rpdders" had great ideas and they were way ahead of the times. Nice style clean lines.

    Only problem I have here is my usual one: these cars deserve to be DRIVEN and SEEN and not be sitting in a museum. You won't inspire new builders if you hide all of the old craftsman vehicles indoors. Drive 'em!
