    Just so's when I win the lottery, I can build a monument on a hilltop in gold for it with armed guards and pit bulls:eek::eek: surrounding it, or more realistically put it in Tacoma's LaMays Musuem

    I believe the Starbird collection was all sold to the Speedway museum.

    Thanks to both Moriarty and HRP for your quick response to my my silly question of this morning. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Got to back off (wife failing), .................it happens, no need to comment (thanks for thoughts though. I understand, have I family around /close by.
    I used to build models years ago, still have unopened Monogram LC. Gonna give my old skills a try doing the old girl my way. Wire wheels, maybe black walls, large slicks. relocate the headlights (and a bit larger under the fenders.), and a blower it should have never been without!!:eek::eek::eek:

    When did the Starbird collection get sold? I guess I missed that. Is Mr. Starbird still with us? I know his wife has passed. Around 2002 or2003 my wife and I toured the museum, Donna was there, Darryl was not, she was a very gracious lady and host. And the museum wasn’t bad either.

    I understand that Mr. Starbird has some health issues. He lives not to far from me in southwest Missouri.
