Sorry was a typo on Groom. Uncertain heritage meant unable to evaluate
mechanicals of automobile(always an auction car problem) but again what
could be observed visually looked first class.

The red 300 G at Barrett Jackson was done by Greg Groom, not Broom.
He's
done many beautiful 300's and he also did the green 58 Desoto with the
matching boat that was at Barrett.

Regards,
Richard..

auto were legit and that the cars actually changed hands. Would be
fascinating to have new owners names. Some real cynics thought that
this
Dr. was a name made up to mask the true owners which some
thought(again
cynically ?) were the RM group themselves. Body door, hood and trunk
gaps
on the cars were horrible, and extensive bondo on lower panels of
some. The
red G at Barrett had much finer body work but rest of car was of
uncertain
heritage. This car was done by Greg Broom.
