----I have pretty consistently maintained that I don't have paperwork, only educated conjecture. George Berejik supposedly knew of this car but I never got the chance to talk to him before he passed (RIP, George). The only old picture I have ever found was on Gene Horn's website, and I cant be positive that my car is the same car. Gene cant remember anymore.
---- Maroon/black was the color combo of all the early Woodland and Andreeson cars (65 to 67). The holes in my trunklid match exactly the Brainbeau dealer chrome metal emblem. The lack of comfort options certainly point toward a racing future. My car has all the specific tags of a 67 W30. The only thing I added during the resto was the Transistor Ignition as I found a complete NOS set-up, and it just seemed right. What is indisputable is that both Andreesen and Woodland owned the car at different times.
----I have no idea weather my car was the last 442 sold by Brainbeau, and we will never know, Thanks for the questions!.......Bill S

----PS,,,I recently found out that the team switched to a Turbo 400 for a period of time to go after that record. Apparently, there wasn't a pressing need for a second car!
