I'll get some photos on line here for sure.  I
know now that it's not a Plymouth, maybe a
Maxwell??  The rear end is most distinctive, and
somebody whose into antique cars will probably
recognize it instantly.  From what I've got so
far though, i know it can't be a gas roadster,
and it probably ain't going to sqeak by into
street roadster, so I might as well start
thinking and researching Modified Roadster -
-hmmmm- gonna have to change my signature block
on these letters.
