Yep! #1 & #2 side by side again in LaHarpe after nearly 43 years.

Mike & Peggy Flash from Beaumont Texas made the trip to Monmouth & LaHarpe with #2. He has owned the car for 30 years and it RARELY sees daylight. It's in amazing shape considering it retains most of its original paint. When Mike bought it, the engine was blown (not the original aluminum engine, but an iron block) and it had 'glass front fenders and a lift-off hood. He replaced the front sheetmetal and painted everything from the doors forward, also blending into the doors.
He also thought #2 was the Shay Nichols car but all the pictures show lace & cobweb paint on her car. Mike says there's absolutely no indication of a repaint on this car, or of any lace/cobweb work. He knows the history of the car; he's the fourth owner.
I was hoping Charley would say something about Mike & Peggy coming to MCACN so I just threw some pix out to entice everyone. BTW, they sounded very interested and it's sounding like they may make the trip to Chicago in November. (Even Barnhart didn't scare them off!)
Like Rick said, they're really nice folks and everyone enjoyed the time with them. I hope they enjoyed the trip and their time in LaHarpe. Looking forward to seeing them again in November.
