    So sad to hear about this. I believe his outstanding artwork deserves as much attention as his Sedan. But he was always a stand up gentlemen when you visit him as a vendor selling his artwork.

    Here is a sample of his artwork that he did for a good friend of his named Bob Kehoe who also recently passed away. I guess they were both members of the 200 m.p.h. club. and I am sure that they are bench racing together, once again. R.I.P.

    That was built by Jim Russell (RIP) Salinas,Ca. in 1958. I purchased it from his son and my friend Anthony. Got it back on the road again after a lengthy hibernation. 20180822_155050.jpg

    Wasn't the Bob McCoy 40 one of the first street cars to run 150? I may be wrong.

    Thanks,
