    I tagged this picture in my Buick file as a HAMB photo. Does anyone have more info about it?
    Thanks, David

    Actually I think Joe Edd Rays owned it but Bob Metz customized it. Metz sectioned the body on Ray's Buick 5 inches before the top was chopped 3 inches. Joe Rays did all of Bob's upholstery work. It was used in the Time Machine movie. Rays son last i read he was looking for it and supposedly in the St. Louis area as of around 2015-2016.
