Could that have been Downingtown or Coatsville? I don't remember one in W/C. Yea your Dad should have brought one. I started working at Town Motors C/P in '75 and remember the guy's talking about the winged cars and they sat in the showroom for months because they were not selling

Some debate that it was never created, but some say its real. I'd like to think its real! Those mod top cars are a crazy sight
