    Larry purchased the car from Chuck at California Street Rods and had Roy Brizio build him a chassis. I last saw it in Detroit prior to my retirement. I think I have a photo in my files. I will look for it and post if I have it. Patina as I recall. Larry worked for GM and then for Ford a few years ago. Nice guy.

    Yes,very hot sedan! Worked with Larry at Ford design.Was sorry to see him leave.He'd bring the car to work occasionally.
    Here's the only pic I have of it.

    I had the pleasure to see this car when he brought it to our design employee car show one year in our design courtyard. The car is incredible.That motor is too much.

    I remember the car. Never saw it first hand but I really loved the design sketches he did of it.

    Off subject, but where is Larry working now? His Chevy roadster was built when he worked for GM.

    When Larry left Ford,he took the position of director of transportation design at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.To the best of my knowledge he's still there.

    My brother and I picked the chassis up in Romulus Michigan for Larry and hauled it out to his house. It's a work of art.

    All these people know him or worked on the car... but all you can come up with is a couple of pics of one of the sweetest looking rides around. If it was me I'd be all over it.

    Thanks. He is a very talented designer and I think he would make an excellent teacher.

    I'm going against the flow - and yes I know who Larry Erickson is and the awesome work he has done but to me the stance looks like broken front suspension or airbags that have popped. I do not find it cool at all....
