I was thinking that I had seen them, but I can't remember now. I assume I 
would remember, so I think my mom & dad saw them in a museum in Italy and 
took pictures for me.

It's funny you would ask me about this because the first I heard of it was 
in a magazine article you guys posted about Virgil Jr.  I think it was a '32 
Studebaker Special.  I think it actually won @ Indy and maybe some type of 
Grand Prix race, but I'm not 100% sure. I also think it's at the speedway 
museum. The one thing I am sure of is that he painted it black with red 
leather.
Keep up the great work!
Rob
'83 Imperial gray w/red leather
