The car was Harley Earls and one time while on spring break in Fla I saw it in his driveway in Palm Beach. I was 16 or 17 and tried to walk into his driveway but a caretaker chased me off the property. Later we found out that a good friend of mine, Bob Gold (RIP) and a partner bought it and restored it.
----The coupe came to Classic Motors in Hinsdale from Kentucky. Can't remember how it ended up in Kentucky, but I used to drive it home for lunch. It has had several owner changes since those days, but was nice enough at the time that all we did to it was a quick detail...…..Bill S
