    If it's any consolation to the buyer at $27,500 it didn't sell for a famous movie car price.
     
  2. thanks for looking, maybe it wasn't that scene. I am sure I saw it for just a split second.

    Now for a story that told to me:
    It seems there is a builder in the small town of Yucaipa California, he builds hot rods one at a time.
    His cars are not AMBR quality, they are just hot rods built from parts from the swap meet and carefully selected new parts, made to be driven.
    It seems that he built a nice black A on 32 rails with a Olds motor.
    This builder drug the hot rod to the swaps: Model A, Pomona, Long Beach, and he found a buyer.
    This buyer worked in Tinsel Town and loved driving his new Hot Rod
    And one day, he drove it to a large building where people were standing around waiting for 'Action'.
    And one of the persons there went crazy over the this Hot Rod and wanted it for a project.
    But this Hot Rod would not be sold and would not take the abuse that would be called for.
    So the Makers of Magic made three copies.
    And you know the rest of the story.

    I guess they didn't make very good copies. One of them looked like a 32.

    The cowl, windshield, and body reveal doesn’t look roadster.

    And the dash in the California Kid in the movie was not the California Kid dash,,,
    And the roll-over 55 in AG was not the hero car

    The movie was set in 1957, so the small block is plausible.
