It's been off the road for 40+ years and narrowly escaped being transformed into an '80s street rod by Tom McMullen in a series he began in Street Rodder in 1982. The article was entitled "Old to New". I'm on a mission entitled, "New to Old". I want to put the car back to the way it was when I fell in love with it.
When I first saw the car in the magazine, thoughts of "where is it now" never really crossed my mind. I couldn't imagine there would be a chance of finding it, just kind of looked at it like a model of a look that I'd like to replicate in a car someday. I thought it would be cool to build a '33-'34 roadster in a similar style. That all changed with my decision to pursue the lead of the 1963 owner's name which resulted in the opportunity to buy it. I think I read a post on here once about "you gotta knock on the door" or "you gotta make the call". I've done it plenty before with no results, but this time I got lucky and it paid off.
