Fred Fleet Model A - Found!

Well I don't know if a car can be found if it was never really lost, but Fred Fleet's '28 Model A sedan from either the fifties or early sixties (I can't tell from the dress style) was recently unearthed by a friend of mine and purchased from a collector with a small package of four cars - 3 of them 55-57 Chevy Gassers / ex drag cars. This is a pretty amazing old car pretty much unmolested from the day, other than it was partially disassembled to make a street rod out of in the early 70's. Fortunately they got the car somewhat apart, then stopped. Some parts went upstairs, some downstairs, some in a garage, but all the major stuff was still there, and it never left the place it was taken apart at about 37 years ago. It was found in a state of stillborn molestation as it were. Pretty cool stuff, lots of chrome garnishes, dash rail, etc. A pretty intact and solid old car, the things that are missing are pretty commonplace, like the engine/trans etc. I think a person could install an engine and tranny - do the brakes and have a running driving car. It was found in Southern Oregon not far from Klamath Falls where Fred was a club member of 'Satans Chauffeurs'. I will post more pics as soon as it gets to his house, hopefully Wednesday. Does anyone know Fred? I have heard he was possibly in Arizona and maybe owned or had something to do with a SoCal store there?? Any known info or contact info would be helpful!! All I could find on the web was a ditty on the Fleet Special that SoCal built for Fred Fleet. Here's a couple of pics........ Thank you and enjoy! Tim PS - still looking for that coupe in the club pic!
