Bought by Paul in the late 70s and driven to a few rod runs before
being sold to
Alan Cooper who still has it to this day although it has been dissasembled.
Story By Alan Cooper
In 79, as a way back into rodding, Cheryl and I bought the one and
only 1912 C-Cab replica that had been around the runs during 74_78. The
car was neglected and had no engine or trans. I had new fenders and valences
made by Dave Robinson and fiddled with the car many times but could never
quite decide what style to build it. It still sits stripped down awaiting
a new lease on life. I still think it will happen, many do not.
