He was a Caddy guy and had/owned one that sat in my yard for awhile. Repo man stored it there. Pink slip and original paperwork written/signed , by him, in glove compartment. Could have had that beauty 'cheap', if would have had two more dimes to rub together..bummer !

BTW...Anyone recognize that windshield design? Was 'Duke' Hallock making stuff in those days ?

Hey Rick

I had to go off and look that up as well - the windshield glass is '39 Chrysler, the surround and posts cast and machined by the builder John Athan

THANKS Buddy ! That guy was at the lead of the pack, with that windshield ! Haven't seen another and it is just perfect on that car. Hm, I liked the car as Elvis drove it, but that's just me. Wished I'd taken machining, then I'd have one of those for my '30 roadster !
