Thanks Ken. It wasn't at Beck Road. It was at the Lingenfelter Collection in Brighton. It's basically a factory-sized building that's home to more than 200 cars, arranged in a museum-like display. I don't remember the name of the street. It can be found on Google. All my work is freelance but none is spec. I'm currently doing about twenty articles a year for Hagerty. The editor and I come up with a list of assignments. This one was my suggestion. I had been to Lingenfelter's a few times and had my eye on this car. It will appear on the site toward the beginning of next year. At about the same time an article featuring a PDML member will be published.
