Estate Sale SOLD SOLD I am Selling for the widow of my deceased 87 year old friend, Malcolm Canon, nationally known for building racing Hydromatics in the 1950's and 1960's. It can be driven and enjoyed as is, instead of like many cars that are over-restored and so expensive that they can't be enjoyed.
