Apologies - I was too quick!

[Paul Jaray]

Ok, I'll quit with this dramatic strategy...

Any connection to a Cheetah?

Nope...

A re-post? 

You'd be surprise...

I doubt it's front wheel drive, but is it?
'Cause it does have '60s Oldsnomobile Toronado front wheels.
I think I like it.

[Paul Jaray]

I highly doubt that...
I like it too!

By Bill Stroppe? The Guy who worked with Bill Thomas to create the Cheetah?

[metalshapes]

I believe so.

But I dont have much more Info than that.

[metalshapes]

Body by Troutman & Barnes, I believe.

I wasn't going to name his name, but if there is an article about it it must be OK...

Yeah, Geoff Emailed me the pics after he found it.

I'm sorry Otto, I hope I did not mislead you with that reply.
I had a couple of articles about Stroppe, one from 'American Road Race Specials' and the other from 'vintage racecar' but I was not aware of his previous works (execpt the Mermaid you posted before)...
I also have some pics from Geoff and it's a very nice beast! (this car of course!)
