    That car was built in 58 and the interior installed in 64. Was locked up in a garage in Pennsylania for 45 years. Was purchased by the Curtin family and were able to get it running and the brakes working the week before the show. A true survivor. The top was put on in 1958. It was a real treat to see in person.

    Yes, Jim you are correct. Built and stayed in the Beaver Valley since being built. I can’t see the Placard with the Car close enough to read, but the original builder had a Nailhead in it. Had some problems with it so he changed it before Big Bob bought it the sixties. I don’t know if Mr. Curtain is on the H.A.M.B., but I’ve been asked to get his phone# so the original may get a chance to see it. So Don if your on here, please PM me. It’s held up really well for all these years don’t you think. Later—Lou

    Original interior was all white. And when I seen it in 61-62 it was nicely done. One of the few Customs in our area at the time. Those were the days we gray hairs are still trying to recreate!

    If that's the car I'm thinking of, I remember it being at the Hunt Armory show in East Liberty around 1960-61. It,s nice to see it resurrected.

    I’ll check into that. The original owner is 80 years young and still out works guys half his age. He’s the main wrench on his sons trucks, one heck of a diesel mechanic, and sharp as a tack.

    Thanks Don. Glad to see you got this car. Was just texting your info to Billy H. @Moriarity helped me out with your phone # & E-mail. Hope you didn’t mind. When I first seen pictures of it, I wasn’t sure it was Billy’s. Then I got a few shots from Mark of the rear end, and I knew it was. It couldn’t have gotten a better Caretaker. It’s kind of Crazy, but many of these cars will outlive us. I’ll PM his cell phone# I’m sure he’d like to talk to you. Thanks, Cruise em easy.

    I think that is the second nailhead. I believe that a fellow named Rich Bauman probably had something to do with putting a Buick in it. He was big on using the nailheads and later was was stuffing the 401 Buick’s in everything. That’s an interesting car you’ve found. I think at one time Bob had quite a list of people on the list wanting to buy it. Keeping it like it is, I think is the right way to approach the time capsule that it is. Good fortune doesn’t come along very often, I’m impressed with how well it stayed together.
