[Bob Bidonde]

I restored my 45B Coupe in total except for the metal plating, and welding-in of cowl patch panels. Purchased in 1962, the restoration was completed in 1980. Since then, I have driven the Coupe 50,000 miles.

Unfortunately, during the restoration of my 190A a battle with lymphoma interrupted the process. As my white blood cells are not working properly, the doctor said my car painting days are over, so I had it painted by a friend. Otherwise, I did all but the nickle and chrome plating.
