[Healeys] look at what we found while at Springthing

[Jim LeBlanc]

A little off thread here . . .
 
Some cars need to be preserved in what I call "owner modified condition". This
seems like one of those unique cars.
 
The concours stuff is great. My car is maintained in concours condition. Yet
there are some wonderful cars that have become a symbol of their owner. I vote
this car is one of those unique cars.
 
Then good luck to whomever gets to maintain all that clever stuff. A white lab
coat might be required.

Well, I was wondering when and if this would show up on this list.  I know
the owner because my father this guy used to work together.

The owner was an aircraft mechanic at Civil Air Transport under Claire
Chennault, and later rose up to be the President of CAT.  Technically
speaking he wasn't president of Air America, but its precursor Civil Air
Transport.
