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

It was on Gay street in West Chester if I remember correctly. I'll ask my Father if he remembers the address.

As long as we are at it, Maybe I should post these up.
Same car as post # 242, photo 4.
Taken a couple of labor Days ago in Keokuk, IA.
Changing gears in Ramo Stott's Championship car, me on the right.
2nd shot is of a healthy & vibrant Mr. & Mrs Stott.

Now I thought this was pretty cool until my brother got to swing wrenches on a F4F Hellcat!
And there is a Pontiac connection- It's a Ray Nichols built car.

So I just found a company who makes complete conversion kits to make either a Superbird or a Daytona.

I think I just found my next project. I just need to find a decent roller.

Very cool.

Probably only a dozen or so white wing F6 cars over white ever made.
