Thanks Mark, It might be it. The car was designed by my Grandfather in 1936. http://www.flickr.com/photos/autohistor ... 534437206/

Wow, your grandfather worked for Murphy Coachworks. I have photographed a few Murphy bodied cars. Too bad he didn't leave one to you, you could retire off the car's value. Murphy Coachworks did a custom bodies for everything from Bentleys and Duesenbergs to Mercedes and Packards.

In modern culture terms, that would be a little bit like working for Chip Foose.

I see he also worked with John Tjaarda of Lincoln Zephyr fame.

Very cool.

I hope you recycle all those plastic bottles.

I do, I have for over 20 years recycled everything possible to recycle that I purchase and/or use, and I don't see that it's any business of yours to remind me to do so.

My grandfather was also founder of the Horseless Carriage Club. My Grandmother was the one who came up with the name. Back then there was no president everyone had equal say in the club.

Very cool.

I think that tow car would look great towing this Bolus Road Chief:
