------Apparently some significant "artists license" going on here. The car was wrecked under my partners and my ownership in 1979/80ish. Our business sponsored a Kruse auction that took place in Bolingbrook Il., and the driver who drove the car to the auction sight was hit by a drunk driver. We sold the car wrecked to Horace who had the car repaired by Vic Studer. The repair was so well done that many people have disputed the fact that it was wrecked at all, but believe me, it was. I believe Horace sold the car to someone in Mi. and then I lost track of it until i saw it at the forementioned Mecum auction several years ago. The car has passed thru several more hands since. Im not sure who had it painted but it most certainly has been painted again and fairly heavily detailed. I still like the car a bunch and would have no qualms owning it again, but that is absolutely the history after Ricks ownership.........Bill S
