Inquiring minds need to know. So I searched and found this: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/chrisman-model-a-sedan-hot-rod.htm
It wasn't featured in Hot Rod again. It is possible it was featured in Car Craft or R&C, I can't say for sure as my collection is quite thin with those****les.
I first saw the Chrisman sedan on the cover of "Speed Mechanics," (or at least that's what I think it was called)...picture of the engine, remember the deep purple color of the cowl...Speed Mechanics was published on the east coast, I think, and did not survive....remember another cover car was the Rich Guasco roadster in its first version before it won AMBR.
