Many years ago this car was in HRM, running at an event. Anybody know anything about this car? Guessing by rear tires mid 60's.

Good ole' Francis!---He gave all us past LAR Presidents a gold plated belt buckle! Years ago in the 70's I made him a giant ring (because of his large size), out of 6" pipe, welded a small LAR logo roadster on top with small batt. operated lights on each wheel. Gave it to him as a joke----But instead, he always displayed it at shows.----Don

 

Also, His license plate was FDR (Francis De Rocco).

 

Frances was the best. They lived next door to my girlfriend and I think I spent an equal amount of time at Frances’ place. I did headers and exhaust on his ‘36 roadster and I remember how excited he was when he got the body and his Pines grille. His son John had a nasty, chopped deuce Tudor with a blown Olds that absolutely cemented my love of Olds engines and old Fords. Those were very special times.
