that roadster was found by a guy in No. California. story goes that it was in an old hot rod movie,then sold after the movie. the owner and his wife owned a little air plane hangar,where it spent decades just sitting. when the old man died,the widow had a estate type sale or something. the guy who bought it couldn't believe his eyes. he new exactly what movie it came from. he got it for next nothing i heard. he even got alot of rare extra hot rod parts that were in big boxes in the hangar. i wish i could remember what movie it was. i have seen it myself,but many moons ago. i almost had a chance to see this raodster with my own eyes,but the window of chance slipped through the cracks. yes...there still is treasures out there...waiting to be rediscovered. i'm stoked to see a photo of that roadster on your blog. right on.
