    You never know. A guy I know bought the A brothers Victorion in 69 and stored it until recently when he sold it to a guy who intends to restore it.. At the present time it sits in the Gilmore Museum in a collection the titled "Barn Finds"

    And I thought you found some info on it.
     
  3. ..............No, sorry, just hoping others might see this that didn't see it before, and perhaps have some info or memories.:)
     
  4. Nothing new to report since phat rat’sreport a few posts up.. I haven’t seen the new owner since it was at the Gilmore Museum so I don’t know the absolute current plan. The current owner has the resources to get the job done and is fully aware of the significance of this A-Brothers custom.

  6. The Alexandria mystery continues. Anyone have updates or clues?

    Vaguely familiar with this one but don't recall seeing those concept drawings before. Love the styling.
    So yeh, thanks for the bump and keep that flame burnin'. Look what happened with the Uncertain "T". :)

  9. Back in 2002 it was sitting in the back of a chrome shop ( Warren Plating ) the Biniecki Brothers, untouched from the day they bought it. They had a show car back in the 60s called CHROME COFFIN. I believe from the information i know, the business has been closed for some time also.
    So it's still hiding somewhere.
    Definitely a kustom needing to found & finished if possible.
    More surprising, no one has cloned it.

    A friend of mine was very good friends with the Biniecki brothers and I used to get all of my plating done at Warren Custom Plating in the late 70,s and 80,s.
    I was in that building many times and never saw it unless it was hidden from sight.

    If I remember correctly Mike told me that when they sold it (in the 60's) it went to someone on the east coast

    I suppose they worked with what they had on hand and what they could afford at the time, but a '55 Ford seems like an unusual starting point to get to something that looks like a '62 Pontiac. :)
