It's not an uncommon story for low mile cars. Dennis Peterson ordered the car when he was 21 and working as a machinist in Iowa City. I looked up his address and he lived in a modest home with a one car garage. The car was his baby and he never drove it. He had another car for work and pleasure. He never married or had children, so when he passed away his brother got the car. It passed through two owners and received a Bloomington Benchmark award in 1996. It's been seen once in 50 years at a show.
