    And where are the 3 cars going on the lower right?

    What does it take to convince someone? I posted a picture of a '42 in my original response and yes, they did make them and so did most other brands. See the other posts that followed for further details and verification.

    We stopped there a couple of years ago. It's depressing to see them now. Not
    even counting the graffiti, but just the physical damage people have done
    to the cars. And tons of spay paint cans all over the place, laying on the
    ground. My kids were excited to see them, til we got up to them. Then they
    just wanted to take a picture or two and just leave... What a shame..

    Hear that! I'll never understand what dim-witted vandals think their damn activity proves. Assholes. Recently, a thief took the radiator out of my OT van that I was using to keep things dry. Radiator, $25 or $30. THAT I understand. But then the MFer hauled off and broke the windshield, apparently out of spite. If anybody can speculate on the message that was supposed to convey, I'll feel better. He could have HAD the radiator, but break the windshield?

    Las time I was in Amirillio Texas at the ranch, cars were primed a Rusty red as the Graffiti scum had already destroyed most of the cars years before . Pity too, as I consider Mr. Stanleys Cadillac ranch to be a Historical Landmark .......... scrubba

    Sorry! The pic I looked at must have been mislabeled. You are right it is a 41.

    Gary, some darn interesting pix, as usual! :D RE the above, I understand the left/right technique
    for full-size mockups. But just what (and when) is this? Maybe one of Darrin's first design ideas
    for the Frazer??? :confused:

    Is this Nash customized? :confused: I can't imagine the factory doing anything like this.

    I meant the Nash roofline, rear coachwork enclosed? Or is that a tarp?
