    I believe he had the roadster when he was still in Wyandotte Michigan.

    Nice nose, has a late 1930's INDY car look to it.

    Normally, these track noses come off looking bloated where they meet the hood—clumsy, out of proportion. But that scallop takes your eyes away from that... shows some real design intelligence.

    Probably not telling you anything you don't already know but Dick's son Keith is a member on here - @Keith Dean .
    Hasn't been around for about 10 yrs. but has his own shop with contact info. If any one would have/know about any pics or info on it.....I assume it would be him.

    The nose kinda looks like the Ace of Clubs to me.

    "Symbolized by ♣️, the club symbol represents the summer season and the earth element. The club suit in cards indicates youth, a phase when a person focuses on education, and recklessness."

    That nose made out of fenders is pretty ingenious, and doesn’t look half bad either.
