John,
I missed this thread as I was out of the state over the holidays and just came across it today. You may recall that you and I e-mailed back and forth several years ago and you sent me a picture of the above. After hearing the complete story I was and still am a firm believer in this car existing at one time. It would be fantastic to come across it again though that is likely never going to happen.
Keep hanging around. We need your knowledge and experience that you can bring to us. Some of your plant stories are really exciting and informative.
