In the article Goldy but Goody is referring to the be Merc but it has door handles, when painted light green it has no door handles. Not sure if it means something or not.. I like Pats articles and look forward to each one..
Philadelphia Model Race Club member Matt Carino working on his one off spur drive racer. Matt had to be well off to afford so many cars as they were about 50.00 dollars each. This only about half of what he owned. Picture taken early 1949. Lurker Mick the Invader I sold you came out of Matts estate.
